Crossword Genius

Charge for a ring (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toll

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'charge' is the first definition.
(I know that toll is a more specific form of the action impose)

'ring' is the second definition.
(a bell tolls)

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toll that I've seen before include "repeated ringing" , "Be inclined" , "Bridge or road charge" , "Ring bell with slow strokes" , "Charge to use, eg, bridge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
