Opening, hole (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aperture

I believe this is a double definition.

'opening' is the first definition.
(aperture is a kind of opening)

'hole' is the second definition.
(aperture is a kind of hole)

(Other definitions for aperture that I've seen before include "Device controlling amount of light admitted" , "An opening that admits light" , "Narrow opening" , "Opening through which light enters a camera" , "Opening, to let light enter a camera perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
