Be in the red (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

'be in the red' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "have favours to return" , "Ben in debt" , "Be beholden" , "Have a duty to pay" , "Be in debt - woe is me" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Universal, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
