Crossword Genius

See element of crowd at Edgbaston (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

date

'see' is the definition.
('date' can be a synonym of 'see')

'element of crowd at edgbaston' is the wordplay.
'element of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'DATE' can be found hidden inside 'crowd at edgbaston'.

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "A social appointment - check calendar" , "Appointment - fruit of palm" , "Edible fruit with a long woody seed" , "Time - fruit - girlfriend" , "Tryst" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
