Defeat, overcome (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conquer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'defeat' is the first definition.
(to conquer is to defeat or beat)

'overcome' is the second definition.
(conquering is a kind of overcoming)

(Other definitions for conquer that I've seen before include "worst" , "Be victorious" , "Capture by force" , "Best" , "Beat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
