Crossword Genius

Causes or events of special significance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

occasions

This clue is a double definition.

'causes' is the first definition.
(occasion can mean to cause or bring about)

'events of special significance' is the second definition.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for occasions that I've seen before include "Causes to happen" , "Special times or events" , "Social events" , "Celebrations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
