Assisted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aided

'assisted' is the definition.
('aid' can be a synonym of 'assist')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aided that I've seen before include "not under their own steam?" , "'Assisted, helped (5)'" , "given assistance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Canadiana, The Star Tribune, The Guardian, the New York Times, The Telegraph, The Times, the Universal and the Newsday.com.
