Scraped (out) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eked

(Other definitions for eked that I've seen before include "- - out: increased" , "... out, made to last through frugality" , "Added to scantly" , "Lengthened; supplemented" , "Made, a living say, laboriously" .)

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