Was indebted to (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">was indebted to</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Times, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, The Independent, the Universal, The Mirror and the Newsday.
