I believe the answer is:

seems

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">appears to be</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for seems that I've seen before include "Gives a certain impression" , "Appears, looks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the USA Today, the Evening Standard, the Universal and the Newsday.com.
