Becomes worthy of (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earns

'becomes worthy of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earns that I've seen before include "Works for pay" , "Makes - deserves (by one's efforts)" , "ready for work?" , "Gains by work" , "Gains by labour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
