端倪 (duān ní) — clue, inkling, first sign (usually of something emerging)

Definition

Literary noun meaning the first trace or hint of something emerging — usually something hidden, complex, or still unfolding. Synonymous with 线索 only in the sense of 'clue'; 端倪 emphasizes a faint initial sign, not a developed lead.
