Abounded, swarmed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teemed

I believe this is a double definition.

'abounded' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'swarmed' is the second definition.
('teem' can be a synonym of 'swarm')

(Other definitions for teemed that I've seen before include "(Of rain) poured down" , "Swarmed, was very plentiful" , "Swarmed or poured" , "Swarmed or pured down" , "Was swarming (with)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
