Obtain, acquire (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

come by

I believe this is a double definition.

'obtain' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'acquire' is the second definition.
(coming by is a kind of acquiring)

(Other definitions for come by that I've seen before include "pass" , "Secure" , "Manage to acquire" , "Encounter" , "Find" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
