Hole, opening (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aperture

I believe this is a double definition.

'hole' is the first definition.
(aperture is a kind of hole)

'opening' is the second definition.
(aperture is a kind of opening)

(Other definitions for aperture that I've seen before include "Opening, to let light enter a camera perhaps" , "Crack" , "Opening (for a photographer?)" , "Eye" , "Opening, gap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Mirror.
