A purpose, loitering with one maybe (6)

I believe the answer is:

intent

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Determined or resolved" , "With mind fixed on purpose, concentrated" , "Firm - plan - steadfast - purpose" , "7 Purpose; fixed (upon)" , "Bent on, resolved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
