Scrounged, begged (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cadged

I believe this is a double definition.

'scrounged' is the first definition.
('cadge' can be a synonym of 'scrounge')

'begged' is the second definition.
(cadging is a kind of begging)

(Other definitions for cadged that I've seen before include "Scrounged, borrowed" , "Scrounged, begged" , "Bummed" , "Sponged from another person" , "Scroughed, went around begging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
