Imitates; copies (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mimics

This clue is a double definition.

'imitates' is the first definition.
(mimicking is a kind of imitating)

'copies' is the second definition.
(mimicking is a kind of copying)

(Other definitions for mimics that I've seen before include "Imitates for satirical effect" , "Impersonates or parrots" , "Copies - apes" , "Imitates satirically" , "Imitators" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
