Rebound, deflect (8)

I believe the answer is:

ricochet

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rebound' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

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

(Other definitions for ricochet that I've seen before include "Rebounding bullet" , "Skip" , "Film" , "The rebound of a bullet off a surface" , "Deflection of bullet's path" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
