Timely cue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prompt

I believe this is a double definition.

'timely' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'cue' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for prompt that I've seen before include "Quick - cue" , "Cue; punctual" , "Cue given to actor" , "Whisper line to forgetful actor" , "Immediate - supply actor's lines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
