To be paid (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owing

'to be paid' is the definition.
(eg an unpaid bill is owing)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owing that I've seen before include "Unpaid" , "Outstanding as a debt" , "Unsettled; on account" , "This debt has yet to be paid" , "(Of money) outstanding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Washington Post, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
