Deserves to get (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earns

(Other definitions for earns that I've seen before include "Makes - deserves (by one's efforts)" , "Acquires by effort" , "Deserves for snare" , "Gains by labour" , "Works for pay" .)

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