Crossword Genius

Prime object of care (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charge

I believe this is a triple definition!

'prime' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'object' is the second definition.
(charge is a kind of object)

'of' is a link.

'care' is the third definition.
(I know that care can be written as charge)

(Other definitions for charge that I've seen before include "Fill; fee" , "Formal accusation" , "Sortie" , "Deliver an official injunction" , "Legal accusation" .)

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