Crossword Genius

Philosopher works? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mill

I believe this is a double definition.

'philosopher' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'works?' is the second definition.
(mill is a kind of works)

(Other definitions for mill that I've seen before include "Building in which grain is ground to flour" , "Grind (grain)" , "Plant with facilities for manufacturing" , "Flour factory" , "Vacuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
