Obtain by sponging (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadge

(Other definitions for cadge that I've seen before include "Try to get (something) without paying" , "Sponge (eg money)" , "Caged (anag.)" , "Go about begging, scrounge" , "Sponge (money, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
