Proverb, saying (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adage

I believe this is a double definition.

'proverb' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'saying' is the second definition.
(adage is a kind of saying)

(Other definitions for adage that I've seen before include "Old saw" , "Proverb expressing a general truth" , "Maxim, aphorism" , "say it again and again!" , "Axiom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
