Pass giving foul (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defile

I believe this is a double definition.

'pass' is the first definition.
(defile is a kind of pass)

'foul' is the second definition.
('defile' can be a synonym of 'foul')

'giving' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for defile that I've seen before include "Foul - pass" , "Create pollution" , "Befoul" , "Fed lie to pollute" , "Mar; narrow gorge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
