Well-known forward (8)
I believe the answer is:
familiar
I believe this is a double definition.
'well-known' is the first definition.
('familiar' can be similar in meaning to 'well-known')
'forward' is the second definition.
('familiar' can be similar in meaning to 'forward')
(Other definitions for familiar that I've seen before include "Well known or recognisable" , "Well known like witch's servant" , "Well-acquainted with a witch's cat" , "Well-known; usual" , "Everyday; recognisable" .)
