Crossword Genius

Strike for a share (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whack

I believe this is a double definition.

'strike' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'for a share' is the second definition.
(whack can mean a share or contribution)

(Other definitions for whack that I've seen before include "Strike sharply" , "Resounding blow" , "Strike; specified share" , "Hard hit" , "Strike; share (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
