Support a couple (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brace

This clue is a double definition.

'support' is the first definition.
(brace is a kind of support)

'a couple' is the second definition.
('brace' can be a synonym of 'couple')

(Other definitions for brace that I've seen before include "Support; two" , "Two - supporter" , "Support or hold steady" , "Pair; hand drill" , "Pair - wood-boring tool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express, The Irish Independent and The Times.
