Charged a bit indeed! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debited

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charged' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a bit indeed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bit' could be 'bite' (synonyms) and 'bite' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for debited that I've seen before include "recorded in account" , "Taken from an account" , "Deducted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
