Quite, somewhat (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rather

fairly

This clue is a double definition.

'quite' is the first definition.
(I know that quite can be written as rather)

'somewhat' is the second definition.
(rather can mean somewhat or considerably)

(Other definitions for rather that I've seen before include "Slightly, more so than not (6" , "To a certain extent" , "Preferably, instead" , "with more justification" , "Prefer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
