Was worthy of (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earned

'was worthy of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earned that I've seen before include "'Deserved, merited (6)'" , "Merited through behavior" , "Merited through work" , "Received money for work" , "Neared (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
