Sucks up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absorbs

'sucks up' is the definition.
('absorb' can be a synonym of 'suck up')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for absorbs that I've seen before include "Swallows up" , "Occupies the mind" , "Takes in, sucks up" , "Engrosses" , "Soaks up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
