Help in wrongdoing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'help in wrongdoing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Assist illegally" , "Criminally endorse" , "Support, aid" , "Assist in some nefarious activity" , "Aid and help, perhaps in crime" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the LA Times and the Universal.
