Mark is terribly verbose (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

observe

'mark' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'terribly verbose' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'verbose' is an anagram of 'OBSERVE'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for observe that I've seen before include "Keep; notice" , "Notice; study" , "Watch carefully" , "Keep an eye on" , "Obverse (anag.)" .)
