Employing, expending (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

using

I believe this is a double definition.

'employing' is the first definition.
(to employ is to use)

'expending' is the second definition.
('use' can be a synonym of 'expend')

(Other definitions for using that I've seen before include "Exercising" , "Employing" , "practice" , "taking drugs" , "addiction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
