Give in and give up (9)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

surrender

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'give in' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'give up' is the second definition.
('surrender' can be a synonym of 'give up')

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for surrender that I've seen before include "submission" , "Cede" , "Yield - release" , "Resign" , "Yield to the control of another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
