Astute (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

clever

shrewd

'astute' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for clever that I've seen before include "Smart, adroit" , "Quick to learn and understand" , "Deft, able, bright" , "Bright - ingenious" , "Quick at learning and understanding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Sun.
