Assisted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aided

'assisted' is the definition.
('aid' can be a synonym of 'assist')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aided that I've seen before include "not under their own steam?" , "'Assisted, helped (5)'" , "given assistance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times, The Star Tribune, the Universal, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Canadiana and the Newsday.com.
