Lap pace (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lick

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lap' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'pace' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for lick that I've seen before include "Defeat (informal) - speed (informal)" , "little paint" , "Eat with tongue" , "Taste" , "(At a) fast pace - beat conclusively" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
