Crossword Genius

Dangerous hillside collapsed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fell

This clue is a triple definition!

'dangerous' is the first definition.
(fell can mean fearsome or formidable)

'hillside' is the second definition.
(fell can mean a hill)

'collapsed' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for fell that I've seen before include "Lake District hill" , "Upland tract" , "Chop down" , "Knock down - or was knocked down?" , "Bring down - hill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
