Accusation of assault (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charge

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'accusation' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'assault' is the second definition.
(charging is a kind of assaulting)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for charge that I've seen before include "responsibility" , "Accusation (in court)" , "What a battery holds" , "person in custody" , "Legal accusation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
