At the start (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

initially

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">at the start</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for initially that I've seen before include "In the beginning" , "At the start" , "Firstly" , "To begin with" , "At first" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
