<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">apprised</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for aware that I've seen before include "Conscious, sentient" , "well informed" , "Acquainted with or mindful of" , "Having knowledge (of fact)" , "Having knowledge of, informed" .)
