Come to a ship’s trail close to Devon (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awaken

'come to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a ship's trail close to devon' is the wordplay.
'ship's trail' becomes 'wake' (I've seen this in another clue).
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close of something is the end).
The last letter of 'devon' is 'n'.
'a'+'wake'+'n'='AWAKEN'

(Other definitions for awaken that I've seen before include "Cause to remember" , "Come alive" , "Emerge from sleep" , "Rouse from sleep" , "Arouse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
