Meditate; chew the cud (8)

I believe the answer is:

ruminate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'meditate' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'chew the cud' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for ruminate that I've seen before include "Think over - as cows do?" , "'Reflect deeply, chew the cud (8)'" , "Contemplate" , "Ponder or meditate in mature way" , "Muse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
