Sense one's intending to (7)
I believe the answer is:
meaning
'sense' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'one's intending to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meaning that I've seen before include "Significance" , "Purpose, intent" , "Drift" , "Import; purpose" , "Gist" .)
