Crossword Genius

Round pound (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beat

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'round' is the first definition.
('beat' can be a synonym of 'round')

'pound' is the second definition.
('beat' can be a synonym of 'pound')

(Other definitions for beat that I've seen before include "course run regularly" , "Strike; rhythm" , "Rhythm, stir vigorously" , "Worst round" , "Musical rhythm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
