Crossword Genius

An item or two? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pair

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'an item' is the first definition.
(both can mean a romantic couple)

'two?' is the second definition.
(pair is a kind of two)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pair that I've seen before include "Duo" , "2" , "how braces come" , "Two ducks in one game of cricket" , "Twosome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
