Crossword Genius

Had confessed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owned

This clue is a double definition.

'had' is the first definition.
('own' can be a synonym of 'have')

'confessed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for owned that I've seen before include "Possesed" , "Confessed" , "Possessed; admitted" , "admitted making confession" , "fully paid off?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
