Abstruse, arcane (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esoteric

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'arcane' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for esoteric that I've seen before include "Secret, mysterious" , "known to a few" , "exclusive" , "Occult" , "Intended for the few" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
