Inquiry (11)

I believe the answer is:

exploration

'inquiry' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for exploration that I've seen before include "Process of discovering new lands" , "Process of investigation" , "Travel for purpose of discovery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
