Ascribe; attribute (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impute

This clue is a double definition.

'ascribe' is the first definition.
(I know that ascribe can be written as impute)

'attribute' is the second definition.
(I know that impute is a more specific form of the action attribute)

(Other definitions for impute that I've seen before include "Attribute (something bad) to someone" , "Attribute to a source or cause" , "Ascribe (something unpleasant)" , "Ascribe (crime etc) to someone" , "Uptime (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
