Crossword Genius

Gave in and proposed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

submitted

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'gave in' is the first definition.
(submitting is a kind of giving in)

'proposed' is the second definition.
(as in submitting a bid)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for submitted that I've seen before include "Proposed - yielded" , "Stopped resisting, gave in" , "Yielded (to a superior force)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
