Nick a result? (5)

I believe the answer is:

score

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'nick' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a result?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for score that I've seen before include "Nick; twenty" , "Tally; scratch" , "Notch; twenty" , "Orchestrate; twenty" , "Shoot a goal for a twenty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
