Listen clandestinely (9)

I believe the answer is:

eavesdrop

(Other definitions for eavesdrop that I've seen before include "Listen secretly to private talk" , "Listen in, earwig" , "Snoop" , "Listen-in" , "Listen secretly to others' conversations" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
