Reckoned it's deliberate (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

calculated

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'reckoned' is the first definition.
('calculate' can be a synonym of 'reckon')

'deliberate' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for calculated that I've seen before include "Deliberate" , "Done with an eye on the likely consequences" , "Statistics are" , "Worked out" , "purposeful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
