Ross

I believe the answer is:

deal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'give' is the first definition.
(I know that give is a more specific form of the action direct)

'a hand' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'in getting' is the third definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a bargain' is the fourth definition.
(I know that bargain can be written as deal)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deal that I've seen before include "Distribute (cards); pine or fir timber" , "What business folk do" , "Act of business" , "Soft wood; trade" , "Bargain or kind of wood" .)

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