Machine effect (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

implement

I believe this is a double definition.

'machine' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'effect' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for implement that I've seen before include "Put into effect; tool" , "Enforce, carry out" , "Device" , "Put into operation" , "Perform" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
