Ross

I believe the answer is:

sign

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an indication' is the definition.
(I know that indication can be written as sign)

'gins were mixed' is the wordplay.
'gins' can be anagrammed to 'SIGN'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sign that I've seen before include "add name" , "Communicate to the deaf" , "Show" , "Leo, for instance" , "Traffic control - to write one's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
