Smile and support (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beam

This clue is a double definition.

'smile' is the first definition.
(beam can mean to smile)

'support' is the second definition.
(I know that beam is a type of structural member)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for beam that I've seen before include "Smile; piece of timber" , "Smile radiantly" , "Ray; structural timber" , "one gets from the Sun" , "Radiant smile; timber support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
