Cried, sobbed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wept

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cried' is the first definition.
('weep' can be a synonym of 'cry')

'sobbed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for wept that I've seen before include ""Jesus ___" (St John's Gospel, xi. 35)" , "Exclude, prohibit" , "Sobbed heavily" , "Shed tears of grief" , "lamented" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
