Charge for the damage? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

This clue is a double definition.

'charge' is the first definition.
('tear' can be a synonym of 'charge')

'the damage?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Rip apart; drop" , "Hurry" , "A globule of eye moisture" , "wrench" , "Rip, sever roughly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
