Crossword Genius

Give up and give in (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yield

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'give in' is the second definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'give in')

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for yield that I've seen before include "Give way; produce" , "Submit, give way" , "Relinquish" , "Profit" , "earnings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
