Was in debt to (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owed

'was in debt to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owed that I've seen before include "Had an obligation to pay" , "Was indebted" , "Outstanding" , "(Sum) due for payment" , "Was obliged to pay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Newsday.
