Astute (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

clever

shrewd

'astute' is the definition.
(I know that astute can be written as shrewd)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shrewd that I've seen before include "sharp" , "worldly wise" , "Astute or crafty" , "... knowing" , "Canny and clever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Evening Standard, The Times and The Sun.
