Special importance or significance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emphasis

I believe this is a double definition.

'special importance' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'significance' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for emphasis that I've seen before include "Stress, accentuation" , "Stress, special importance" , "Importance; priority" , "Stress laid on, eg, words" , "Stress given to a word" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
