Earn or win (7)
I believe the answer is:
acquire
I believe this is a double definition.
'earn' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'win' is the second definition.
(I know that win is a more specific form of acquire)
(Other definitions for acquire that I've seen before include "Gain, obtain" , "Secure" , "Bag" , "Come to possess" , "Get" .)
