Crossword Genius

Chap of knowledge? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ken

I believe this is a double definition.

'chap' is the first definition.
(man's name)

'knowledge?' is the second definition.
(ken is a kind of knowledge)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ken that I've seen before include "Understanding - boy's name" , "Notice" , "Identify; -- Livingstone" , "Awareness" , "One's range of knowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
