Developed gradually (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evolved

'developed gradually' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for evolved that I've seen before include "Gradually developed as Darwin put it" , "Underwent development" , "Developed gradually over time" , "Undergone stages of development" , "Grew very gradually as Darwin hypothesised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
