Succeed or break? (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

come off

I believe this is a double definition.

'succeed' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'break?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for come off that I've seen before include "Be removed; turn out; succeed" , "don't stay at peak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
