Basic clip (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staple

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'basic' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'clip' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for staple that I've seen before include "It holds fast" , "U-shaped wire to fasten papers together" , "Fastening wire" , "The food one normally eats" , "Paper securer; main" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
