Scope, extent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambit

I believe this is a double definition.

'scope' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'extent' is the second definition.
(ambit is a kind of extent)

(Other definitions for ambit that I've seen before include "Compass, scope" , "Range, scope" , "Range - surroundings" , "Scope, extent, or bounds of something" , "Scope or confines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
