Crossword Genius

Gust caused by missile? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scud

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'gust' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Gust of wind ' mean 'scud' so perhaps 'gust' could also mean 'scud')

'missile?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'caused by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scud that I've seen before include "(E.g. cloud) race along" , "Move along quickly and smoothly" , "Gulf war missile" , "Move along smoothly - run before gale - Russian missile" , "Move fast, missile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
