Strain, emphasis (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stress

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'strain' is the first definition.
(I know that stress is a type of strain)

'emphasis' is the second definition.
(I know that stress is a type of emphasis)

(Other definitions for stress that I've seen before include "Tension - accent" , "Underline - tension" , "Lay emphasis on - it's a strain" , "Highlight" , "Force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
