Crossword Genius

Give to, for now (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

present

This clue is a double definition.

'give' is the first definition.
(I know that give can be written as present)

'for now' is the second definition.
(the present time)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for present that I've seen before include "It is given" , "something not seen under a tree every day" , "in a particular place" , "Give - what's received at Christmas?" , "Repents (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
