Communicate devilish skill (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impart

'communicate' is the definition.
(impart can mean to communicate or pass on)

'devilish skill' is the wordplay.
'devilish' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this in other clues).
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'imp'+'art'='IMPART'

(Other definitions for impart that I've seen before include "Hand on" , "Pass on information" , "Reveal details" , "Contribute" , "Reveal, make information known" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
