Devote, as time (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'devote as time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spend that I've seen before include "Use up (one's resources)" , "Use (money etc)" , "Run through" , "Blow" , "Pass (time) in a specified way" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
