Help illegally (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Aid and assist" , "Aid and help, perhaps in crime" , "Encourage (wrongdoing)" , "Help a criminal" , "Incite or encourage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and The Sun.
