Quick to give cue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prompt

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'quick' is the first definition.
(I know that quick can be written as prompt)

'give cue' is the second definition.
(prompt can mean to give someone a cue)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for prompt that I've seen before include "Quick - cue" , "With little or no delay" , "Cue given to a performer" , "Give cue to forgetful actor" , "Arriving on time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
