Growth in understanding (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appreciation

This clue is a double definition.

'growth' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'understanding' is the second definition.
(I know that appreciation is a type of understanding)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for appreciation that I've seen before include "recognition" , "An expression of gratitude" , "Gratitude; increase in value" , "Rise" , "It is shown by applause" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
