Crossword Genius

Acquire husband (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garner

I believe this is a double definition.

'acquire' is the first definition.
(garnering is a kind of acquiring)

'husband' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for garner that I've seen before include "Store up; Erroll ---, jazz pianist" , "Gather, earn" , "Collect and store" , "Collect from ranger" , "Gather or collect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
