Lent support to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aided

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aided that I've seen before include "given assistance" , "not under their own steam?" , "'Assisted, helped (5)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post Sunday, the New York Times, the Newsday.com, the USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press and the Universal.
