Lends support to (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aids

'lends support to' is the definition.
(aiding is a kind of lending support to)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aids that I've seen before include "Helps with a dread disease" , "Condition following infection with HIV virus" , "Said to be an international disease" , "Comes to the rescue" , "Assists" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the USA Today and The Washington Post.
