Create, initiate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

originate

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">create</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(originating is a kind of creating)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">initiate</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that initiate can be written as originate)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for originate that I've seen before include "Set up" , "Come into existence" , "Arise, start" , "pioneer" , "Cause to begin, be the first" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
