Attempt; exhausted (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shot

This clue is a double definition.

'attempt' is the first definition.
(shot is a kind of attempt)

'exhausted' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for shot that I've seen before include "Photo; lead pellets" , "Charge" , "completely gone" , "Darted" , "Fired; (be) rid (of)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
