Instructed, taught (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

educated

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'instructed' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'taught' is the second definition.
(educating is a kind of teaching)

(Other definitions for educated that I've seen before include "Maybe enlightened" , "Clever" , "Instructed, taught" , "Having completed schooling, well informed" , "Civilised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
