Crossword Genius

Aimed to be instructed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trained

This clue is a double definition.

'aimed' is the first definition.
('train' can be a synonym of 'aim')

'be instructed' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for trained that I've seen before include "Taught; exercised" , "Coached" , "Instructed - took aim" , "Prepared for race" , "Prepared for a task or career" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
