Take on, as debt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incur

'take on as debt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for incur that I've seen before include "Bring on oneself, say costs" , "Fall liable to" , "contract" , "Run up" , "Take on (obligation)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Penny Press.
