Crossword Genius

Range is clear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweep

This clue is a double definition.

'range' is the first definition.
(sweep is a kind of range)

'is clear' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "gambling event" , "pass swiftly" , "search" , "Expanse" , "Clean the floor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
