Rumour, gossip (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hearsay

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rumour' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'gossip' is the second definition.
(hearsay is a kind of gossip)

(Other definitions for hearsay that I've seen before include "Common talk" , "Gossip passed around by word of mouth" , "Based on report given by others" , "Testimony not based on direct knowledge" , "Gossip or idle talk - it's not evidence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
