Understand the sense (3)

I believe the answer is:

see

This clue is a double definition.

'understand' is the first definition.
('see' can be a synonym of 'understand')

'the sense' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "Discern visually" , "Spot" , "ecclesiastical division" , "Appreciate" , "around cathedral" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
