Damage, weaken (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impair

This clue is a double definition.

'damage' is the first definition.
(I know that impair is a more specific form of the action damage)

'weaken' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for impair that I've seen before include "'Mar, damage (6)'" , "Make worse or less effective" , "Weaken, damage" , "Damage or injure" , "Damage or handicap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
