Put out an account with wrong rebate (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acerbate

'put out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an account with wrong rebate' is the wordplay.
'an account' becomes 'ac' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'rebate' anagrammed gives 'erbate'.
'ac'+'erbate'='ACERBATE'

(Other definitions for acerbate that I've seen before include "distress" , "Exasperate" , "Put out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
