Collect, gather (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glean

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">collect</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(gleaning is a kind of collecting)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">gather</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(gleaning is a kind of gathering)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for glean that I've seen before include "Collect small pieces" , "Gather remnants of corn" , "Gather (info or the harvest)" , "Collect gradually from scattered sources" , "Gradually put together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
