Functions (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uses

'functions' is the definition.
('use' can be a synonym of 'function')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for uses that I've seen before include "Utilises" , "Functions, applications" , "Sues (anag.)" , "Puts to a particular purpose" , "Takes (drugs)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Penny Press, The Guardian, the LA Times, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
