Deserve to receive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earn

'deserve to receive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Acquire by ones' effort" , "Be paid for work" , "Twist out of shape" , "Gain credit from" , "Bring home" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Universal.
