Crossword Genius

Memorised antler formation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

learnt

'memorised' is the definition.
(to memorise is to learn by heart)

'antler formation' is the wordplay.
'formation' indicates an anagram.
'antler' with letters rearranged gives 'LEARNT'.

(Other definitions for learnt that I've seen before include "Realised" , "Committed to memory" , "Gained knowledge or skill" , "Came to know" , "Found out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
