Had more than an inkling (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knew

'had more than an inkling' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for knew that I've seen before include "Understood" , "Was aware of the fact" , "Recognised" , "Was cognisant or aware of" , "Was familiar with" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the New York Times.
