Crossword Genius

Brave the elements (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weather

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'brave' is the first definition.
(I know that brave can be written as weather)

'elements' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for weather that I've seen before include "Meteorological state" , "Conditions outside; survive (crisis)" , "Come safely through; erode" , "Meteorological conditions" , "Climatic conditions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
