Pondered, contemplated (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mused

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pondered' is the first definition.
('muse' can be a synonym of 'ponder')

'contemplated' is the second definition.
('muse' can be a synonym of 'contemplate')

(Other definitions for mused that I've seen before include "Was deep in thought" , "Was absorbed in thought" , "Closer" , "'Meditated, mulled (5)'" , "Fuddled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
