Crossword Genius

Understood to have accumulated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gathered

This clue is a double definition.

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

'accumulated' is the second definition.
('gather' can be a synonym of 'accumulate')

'to have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gathered that I've seen before include "Drew" , "Surmised" , "The grade (anag.)" , "Accumulated, brought together" , "Concluded from evidence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
