Ruin, destroy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wreck

I believe this is a double definition.

'ruin' is the first definition.
(I know that wreck is a more specific form of ruin)

'destroy' is the second definition.
(I know that wreck is a more specific form of destroy)

(Other definitions for wreck that I've seen before include "Demolish; sunken ship" , "A destroyed ship" , "Destroy, ruin" , "Smash" , "Devastate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
