Crossword Genius

Said to have seen (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

observed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'said' is the first definition.
(observing is a kind of saying)

'seen' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for observed that I've seen before include "Kept an eye on" , "Said" , "Noticed or abided by" , "Noticed or remarked" , "Watched - obeyed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
