Be in debt (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">be in debt</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

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

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Newsday, The Sunday Times, The Independent, The New York Times, the Universal, The Sun, The Telegraph, the LA Times, the USA Today, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
