Deserve (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

5

merit

'deserve' is the definition.
(I know that deserve can be written as merit)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for merit that I've seen before include "Worth; deserve" , "of a high order?" , "distinction" , "Goodness" , "Deserve or warrant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The New York Times, the Penny Press, The Sun, The Mirror, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, The Times, the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, The Washington Post, the USA Today, the LA Times, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
