Close, aim (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

end

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'close' is the first definition.
(close can mean to end or finish)

'aim' is the second definition.
(both can mean a goal or purpose)

(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "'Finish, cease (3)'" , "border?" , "Final stage" , "Terminate in den" , "Aim; terminate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
