Rend, tear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rip

I believe this is a double definition.

'rend' is the first definition.
(I know that rend can be written as rip)

'tear' is the second definition.
(I know that rip is a more specific form of the action tear)

(Other definitions for rip that I've seen before include "Tear (e.g. cloth)" , "Tear, rent" , "Letters usually carved on gravestone" , "death wish" , "Tear; gravestone letters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
