The attack and capture of (7)
I believe the answer is:
seizure
This might be a double definition.
'the attack' is the first definition.
('seizure' can be a synonym of 'attack')
'capture of' is the second definition.
'seizure' can be an answer for 'capture' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'of' bit.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seizure that I've seen before include "Attack - capture" , "Apprehension" , "convulsion?" , "Taking possession by legal process" , "Paroxysm" .)
