Feel for, identify with (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

empathise

I believe this is a double definition.

'feel for' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'identify with' is the second definition.
('identify with'->'empathize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

(Other definitions for empathise that I've seen before include "Be understanding of" , "Identify mentally with another person" , "Have fellow-feeling for" , "Understand and feel as another person does - time phase (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
