Scrape (by) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eke

'scrape by' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eke that I've seen before include "Make a living laboriously - a palindrome" , "long ago" , "Make a laborious living" , "addition to Scots" , "To -- something out is to make it go further" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
