Crossword Genius

Result of bribe (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pay off

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'result' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bribe' is the second definition.
(I know that pay off is a more specific form of the action bribe)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pay off that I've seen before include "Dnouement" , "Punchline" , "Settlement in retribution or reward" , "Take revenge" , "denouement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
