Putrefy, decay (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rot

This clue is a double definition.

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

'decay' is the second definition.
(rot can mean to decay)

(Other definitions for rot that I've seen before include "'Decay, decompose (3)'" , "Gradual decline" , "Collapse" , "Decay - nonsense" , "crumble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
