Be beholden to (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

'be beholden to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "Have a debt to (someone)" , "overdrawn" , "Have obligation to pay" , "Have outstanding" , "Have a duty to pay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Telegraph and The New York Times.
