Hide leak (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

secrete

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'leak' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for secrete that I've seen before include "Hide - discharge" , "harbour" , "Cache" , "Hold and send out substance into the body as gland does" , "(Of gland) produce (a substance)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
