At the beginning (7)
I believe the answer is:
initial
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">at the beginning</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 initial that I've seen before include "Relating to the beginning" , "Endorse" , "Let; rent" , "First letter of a name" , "First - opening" .)
