Range — compass (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambit

This clue is a double definition.

'range' is the first definition.
(I know that range can be written as ambit)

'compass' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for ambit that I've seen before include "Compass, scope" , "Scope or circuit" , "Range, scope" , "Circumference" , "Range - surroundings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
