Learn to use gravity on incline (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glean

'learn' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'gravity on incline' is the wordplay.
'gravity' becomes 'g'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'incline' becomes 'lean' (synonyms).
'g'+'lean'='GLEAN'

'to use' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for glean that I've seen before include "Collect gradually from scattered sources" , "Garner" , "Gather (grains of information?)" , "Gather (after reapers)" , "Angel (anag.)" .)

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