Furtively listen in (9)

I believe the answer is:

eavesdrop

(Other definitions for eavesdrop that I've seen before include "Listen carefully" , "Hold secret hearing" , "Deprave so to listen secretly" , "Listen secretly to private talk" , "Listen without the speaker's knowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
