Admitted being gifted (7)
I believe the answer is:
granted
This clue is a double definition.
'admitted' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'gifted' is the second definition.
(granting is a kind of gifting)
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for granted that I've seen before include "Admittedly; given" , "One doesn't like being taken for it" , "OK - allowed" , "Admittedly; gave formally" , "Conceded" .)
