Loosen, open (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unfasten

This clue is a double definition.

'loosen' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'open' is the second definition.
(unfastening is a kind of opening)

(Other definitions for unfasten that I've seen before include "Nun's fate (anag.)" , "Unlock" , "Let go" , "Loosen or open, say seatbelt" , "Undo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
