Crossword Genius

Do finish off (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

execute

This clue is a double definition.

'do' is the first definition.
(executing is a kind of doing)

'finish off' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for execute that I've seen before include "Kill someone" , "Put to death or carry out, say plan" , "Guillotine" , "Carry into effect" , "Perform or kill legally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
