Give way and die (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

succumb

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'give way' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'die' is the second definition.
(I know that succumb is a more specific form of die)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for succumb that I've seen before include "Fail to resist (temptation, perhaps)" , "Give in, yield" , "Give in - die" , "Bow down" , "Give in (to temptation etc)" .)

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