Decline to give up (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drop

I believe this is a double definition.

'decline' is the first definition.
(dropping is a kind of declining)

'give up' is the second definition.
(dropping is a kind of giving up)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drop that I've seen before include "Fall; abandon" , "to omit the > smallest amount" , "See 1" , "Plummet" , "Dispense with - sink" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
