Crossword Genius

Mentioned one dip by mistake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opined

'mentioned' is the definition.

'one dip by mistake' is the wordplay.
'by mistake' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'dip'='onedip'
'onedip' with letters rearranged gives 'OPINED'.

(Other definitions for opined that I've seen before include "Conjectured" , "Supposed" , "Gave as view or thought" , "Gave as one's view" , "Expressed as one's view" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
