Was short (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owed

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owed that I've seen before include "Had an obligation to pay" , "to be paid" , "Had a duty to pay" , "In debt to" , "Was due to pay" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
