Crossword Genius

Supply spring publication (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

issue

This clue is a triple definition!

'supply' is the first definition.
('issue' can be a synonym of 'supply')

'spring' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'publication' is the third definition.
(issue is a kind of publication)

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "The children to come forth" , "Subject to discuss" , "Give out; children" , "Offspring or one of publication" , "Children, edition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
