Portion (out) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dole

'portion out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dole that I've seen before include "State assistance" , "Kansas senator and 1996 presidential candidate, Bob" , "Unemployment pay" , "Unemployment benefit (sl.)" , "Dish (out sparingly)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
