Extinguish, wipe out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eradicate

This clue is a double definition.

'extinguish' is the first definition.
(I know that extinguish can be written as eradicate)

'wipe out' is the second definition.
(I know that wipe out can be written as eradicate)

(Other definitions for eradicate that I've seen before include "Exterminate, extinguish" , "carry out a purge" , "Dispose of" , "Kill" , "Expunge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
