Provide — flexibility (4)

I believe the answer is:

give

This clue is a double definition.

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

'flexibility' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "Donate or hand over" , "Donate, grant" , "Yield - supply" , "be generous?" , "Yield, produce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
