Revenge or retaliation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprisal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'revenge' is the first definition.
(I know that reprisal is a type of revenge)

'retaliation' is the second definition.
(I know that reprisal is a type of retaliation)

(Other definitions for reprisal that I've seen before include "comeback" , "Counterattack" , "Retaliatory action against an enemy" , "Retaliatory deed" , "Act of revenge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
