Pierce, producing blood (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gore

This clue is a double definition.

'pierce' is the first definition.
(goring is a kind of piercing)

'blood' is the second definition.
('gore' can be a synonym of 'blood')

'producing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gore that I've seen before include "Spilt blood" , "Blood; stab with tusk" , "Pierce with horn - blood" , "stuff from part of Kensington" , "Bloodshed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
