Consequence, outcome (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upshot

I believe this is a double definition.

'consequence' is the first definition.
(I know that consequence can be written as upshot)

'outcome' is the second definition.
(I know that outcome can be written as upshot)

(Other definitions for upshot that I've seen before include "Event" , "increased exposure" , "anti-aircraft fire?" , "Outcome, consequence" , "Outcome, final result" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
