Suggest, insinuate (5)

I believe the answer is:

imply

This clue is a double definition.

'suggest' is the first definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)

'insinuate' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for imply that I've seen before include "Involve - intimate" , "Express by indirect means" , "Mean" , "Insinuate, hint" , "Infer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
