Happen to come to mind (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

occur

I believe this is a double definition.

'happen' is the first definition.
('occur' can be a synonym of 'happen')

'come to mind' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for occur that I've seen before include "Spring to mind" , "crop up" , "Happen - to come to mind" , "Come to pass" , "appear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
