See predicament (4)
I believe the answer is:
spot
I believe this is a double definition.
'see' is the first definition.
(to spot is to notice or catch sight of)
'predicament' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for spot that I've seen before include "Small mark or stain" , "Observe - place" , "See - blemish" , "Pimple; place" , "Blob" .)
