Granted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awarded

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">granted</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('award' can be a synonym of 'grant')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for awarded that I've seen before include "Gave a prize to" , "Bestowed on the basis of merit" , "Gave on the basis of merit" , "assigned" , "Granted as a prize" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
