New advancement starting to develop (7)

I believe the answer is:

nascent

'starting to develop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new advancement' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'advancement' becomes 'ascent' (I've seen this before).
'n'+'ascent'='NASCENT'

(Other definitions for nascent that I've seen before include "Sent can (anag.)" , "Starting existence" , "Budding early" , "being coined" , "Emerging, in the process of being born" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
