Crossword Genius

Admitted being gifted (7)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
