Stealthily pursued, son divulged information (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stalked

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stealthily pursued' is the definition.
'stalked' can be an answer for 'pursued' (stalking is a kind of pursuing). I am not sure about the 'stealthily' bit.

'son divulged information' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is located in the answer.
'divulged' could be 'talked' (talking is a kind of divulging) and 'talked' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stalked that I've seen before include "Tracked stealthily, game or victim" , "Pursued (someone) to an obsessive degree" .)
