Crossword Genius

Team companion? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mate

This clue is a double definition.

'team' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'companion?' is the second definition.
(both can mean a friend)

(Other definitions for mate that I've seen before include "Officer below master on a commercial ship" , "Spouse or informal pal (4)" , "Team (anag.)" , "Friend; ship's officer" , "Marry - friend" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
