Imply close (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intimate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'imply' is the first definition.
(intimating is a kind of implying)

'close' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for intimate that I've seen before include "Familiar; imply" , "Make known" , "Infer; personal" , "Close acquaintance" , "Sharing a close and affectionate friendship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
