Beholden (to) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obliged

'beholden to' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for obliged that I've seen before include "Morally or legally bound (to do something)" , "Did favours - compelled" , "Constrained" , "Made bound (to do something)" , "Did favour to, or coerced" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
