Help (a criminal) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'help a criminal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Assist in some nefarious activity" , "Make good" , "Help a criminal" , "Assist (in doing wrong?)" , "Beat (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
