Foul pass (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defile

I believe this is a double definition.

'foul' is the first definition.
(I know that foul can be written as defile)

'pass' is the second definition.
(I know that defile is a type of pass)

(Other definitions for defile that I've seen before include "Make dirty in narrow gorge" , "Spoil; narrow gorge" , "Desecrate" , "Corrupt - mountain pass" , "dishonour?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Times.
