Admit defeat (4,2)

Ross

I think it could be either:

give in

give up

'admit defeat' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for give up that I've seen before include "Renounce or yield" , "Resign" , "Throw in the towel" , "Cede, forego" , "Surrender or abandon hope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Sydney Morning Herald.
