I believe the answer is:
inner
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">close to the centre</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 inner that I've seen before include "Located or occurring closer to a centre" , "Nearer the middle" , "Exclusive to a center" , "Target next to the bull's-eye on a dart board" , "Target next to bull" .)
