Give special importance or attention to (9)

I believe the answer is:

emphasise

(Other definitions for emphasise that I've seen before include "Give extra weight to, stress" , "Place stress on" , "Stress, underline" , "Mashes pie (anag.)" , "Give extra importance to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
