Crossword Genius

Commenced attack (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set about

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'commenced' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'attack' is the second definition.
(I know that attack is a more specific form of the action set about)

(Other definitions for set about that I've seen before include "Start to do something with determination" , "Get cracking" , "Embark upon" , "Begin - attack" .)
