Picked up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heard

'picked up' is the definition.
('hear' can be a synonym of 'pick up')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for heard that I've seen before include "Perceived sound" , "Gave ear to" , "Traditional children shouldn't be" , "Picked up by the ears?" , "Was told of" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Telegraph.
