Pale and pass out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

faint

This clue is a double definition.

'pale' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pass out' is the second definition.
(fainting is a kind of passing out)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for faint that I've seen before include "Weak" , "Swoon, lose consciousness" , "Swoon, pass out" , "Pale - pass out" , "Dim -- swoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
