Decisive, critical (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crucial

I believe this is a double definition.

'decisive' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)

'critical' is the second definition.
(associated in meaning)

(Other definitions for crucial that I've seen before include "Pivotal" , "All-important" , "Of utmost importance" , "Of extreme importance" , "'Decisive, critical (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
