Ross

I believe the answer is:

knew

'was aware' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for knew that I've seen before include "Distinguished" , "Was cognisant or aware of" , "Was familiar with" , "Had learnt; sounds like modern" , "Understood" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, the USA Today, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
