Help comes from Elizabeth (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

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

'from elizabeth' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ABET' is hidden within 'elizabeth'.

'comes' is the link.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Assist illegally" , "Help to do something wrong" , "Aid and help, perhaps in crime" , "Help a criminal" , "Assist (a criminal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
