Best or worst? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overcome

This clue is a double definition.

'best' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'worst?' is the second definition.
(worsting is a kind of overcoming)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for overcome that I've seen before include "Speechless" , "Succeed in dealing with difficulties" , "Defeat, conquer" , "Beat (an adversary)" , "Master" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
