Seems, looks (7)
I believe the answer is:
appears
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'seems' is the first definition.
('appear' can be a synonym of 'seem')
'looks' is the second definition.
(I know this)
(Other definitions for appears that I've seen before include "Looks like" , "Becomes visible" , "is exhibited" , "Comes into view" , "Comes into sight" .)
