Substituted, exchanged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replaced

I believe this is a double definition.

'substituted' is the first definition.
('replace' can be a synonym of 'substitute')

'exchanged' is the second definition.
(replacing is a kind of exchanging)

(Other definitions for replaced that I've seen before include "Substituted, exchanged" , "Put back in position" , "Substituted, supplanted" , "Led caper (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
