Crossword Genius

Expressed regret, seeing Goa spoiled when travelling (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apologised

'expressed regret' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'goa spoiled when travelling' is the wordplay.
'when travelling' indicates an anagram.
'goa'+'spoiled'='goaspoiled'
'goaspoiled' anagrammed gives 'APOLOGISED'.

'seeing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for apologised that I've seen before include "Was sorry" , "Expressed regret for what one has done" , "admitted faults" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
