Feed or foster (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nourish

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'feed' is the first definition.
(I know that nourish is a type of feed)

'foster' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for nourish that I've seen before include "Nurture, sustain" , "Feed, sustain" , "Keep alive and well with food" , "encourage growth" , "Supply with food, keep well" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Sun.
