*Sired (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

begat

'sired' is the definition.
('beget' can be a synonym of 'sire')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for begat that I've seen before include "Produced new life" , "Sired" , "Generated" , "Fathered (biblically)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
