Carries out (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

executes

performs

'carries out' is the definition.
('execute' can be a synonym of 'carry out')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for executes that I've seen before include "Carries out or inflicts capital punishment" , "Carries out something" , "Does away with" , "Carries out and puts to death" , "Carries out and legally kills" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Newsday.com, The Telegraph, the Wall Street Journal and the L.A. Times Daily.
