Isn't square (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owes

'isn't square' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owes that I've seen before include "Is indebted to" , "Is in debt to" , "Has to pay" , "still hasn't paid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
