Crossword Genius

Drop and damage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

This clue is a double definition.

'drop' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'damage' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Product of the lachrymal gland" , "speed" , "Rip - eye moisture" , "Drop secreted by the lacrimal glands" , "charge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Irish News.
