Destroy; disable (5)

I believe the answer is:

wreck

This clue is a double definition.

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

'disable' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for wreck that I've seen before include "Completely spoil" , "Utterly destroy" , "Devastate" , "Destroy, ruin" , "Demolish; sunken ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
