Witness, watch (7)
I believe the answer is:
observe
This clue is a double definition.
'witness' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'watch' is the second definition.
(observing is a kind of watching)
(Other definitions for observe that I've seen before include "monitor" , "Witness, watch" , "Keep - watch" , "taking notice" , "Watch closely" .)
