Crossword Genius

Do without and give to others (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispense

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'do without' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'give to others' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dispense that I've seen before include "Dish out, medicine say" , "Enforce (justice)" , "Supply (prescription)" , "Execute" , "Prepare and distribute medicine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
