Listen without the speaker’s knowledge (8)

I believe the answer is:

overhear

(Other definitions for overhear that I've seen before include "Accidentally perceive with the ear" , "Earwig" , "Tune in to conversation accidentally" , "Listen accidentally without speaker's knowledge" , "Be privy to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
