Sign of implement (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

execute

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sign' is the first definition.
(I know that execute is a type of sign)

'implement' is the second definition.
(I know that execute is a type of implement)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for execute that I've seen before include "Complete - implement" , "ice" , "Carry into effect" , "shoot" , "Inflict capital punishment upon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
