Crossword Genius

Produce buckle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yield

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'produce' is the first definition.
(I know that yield is a more specific form of the action produce)

'buckle' is the second definition.
(buckle can mean to yield or give in)

(Other definitions for yield that I've seen before include "Concede - product" , "Produce as harvest or surrender" , "Stop defending" , "Bring forth" , "Chicken out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
