Old boarding (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

getting on

I believe this is a double definition.

'old' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'boarding' is the second definition.
('get on' can be a synonym of 'board')

(Other definitions for getting on that I've seen before include "Elderly; succeeding" , "doing well" , "Enjoying friendly relations" , "as a boarder > in later years?" , "Being successful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
