Lie for, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Encourage or assist (someone) to commit crime" , "Incite or encourage" , "Assist (a criminal)" , "Aid as in committing crime" , "Incite (to commit an offence)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
