Was able to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

could

'was able to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for could that I've seen is " Was able to (do something)".)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Universal and the Penny Press.
