Suddenly see part of a tree! (4)

I believe the answer is:

twig

I believe this is a double definition.

'suddenly see' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of a tree' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for twig that I've seen before include "Eventually grasp" , "Suddenly get" , "Small piece of wood" , "A little stick" , "Slender woody shoot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
