Being worthy of (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meriting

'being worthy of' is the definition.
('meriting' can be a synonym of 'worthy of')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for meriting that I've seen before include "Deserving, worthy of" , "Earning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
