Be in arrears (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

'be in arrears' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "Are debtors" , "Be obliged to pay" , "Have outstanding" , "have favours to return" , "Be in debt - woe is me" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, The Guardian and The Sun.
