Be in the red (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

'be in the red' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, the Penny Press, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
