Acknowledge Eric's gone to work (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recognise

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

'eric's gone to work' is the wordplay.
'to work' is an anagram indicator.
'erics'+'gone'='ericsgone'
'ericsgone' with letters rearranged gives 'RECOGNISE'.

(Other definitions for recognise that I've seen before include "Know from having seen before" , "See" , "Identify - know" , "Acknowledge value" , "Identify as previously known" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
