___ out (barely manage) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eke

(Other definitions for eke that I've seen before include "Make a living laboriously - a palindrome" , "To -- something out is to make it go further" , "Make last longer" , "Make a laborious living" , "Stretch (out); in addition (archaic)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
