Pull; American (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yank

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'american' is the second definition.
(Yank can informally mean an American)

(Other definitions for yank that I've seen before include "Jerk, pull suddenly" , "Term for an American" , "American from the North" , "sudden 24D [DRAW] ?" , "Unceremoniously drag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
