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 King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, the Penny Press, the USA Today, the Newsday and The New York Times.
