Crossword Genius

Experienced a little unease, as one does (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seasoned

'experienced' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'a little unease as one does' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates a hidden word.
'SEASONED' is hidden within 'unease as one does'.

(Other definitions for seasoned that I've seen before include "Salted and peppered" , "Tempered" , "how curry tastes?" , "Mature" , "Gave experience to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
