Ross

I believe the answer is:

remit

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">abate</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">postpone</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that postpone can be written as remit)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for remit that I've seen before include "Scope - send money" , "Dispatch" , "Pardon (a sin)" , "send money, maybe" , "forward" .)
