Gathered, reaped (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harvested

I believe this is a double definition.

'gathered' is the first definition.
(harvesting is a kind of gathering)

'reaped' is the second definition.
('harvest' can be a synonym of 'reap')

(Other definitions for harvested that I've seen before include "Gathered, reaped" , "He starved (anag) -- gathered food" , "Gathered in the crops" .)

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