Imitated, aped (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

copied

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'imitated' is the first definition.
('copy' can be a synonym of 'imitate')

'aped' is the second definition.
('copy' can be a synonym of 'ape')

(Other definitions for copied that I've seen before include "Reproduced (something)" , "made a transcript" , "Imitated or recreated" , "most sincerely flattered" , "Imitated or replicated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
