Advice for one in extremity? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

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

'one in extremity?' is the second definition.
'tip' can be an answer for 'extremity?' (tip is a kind of extremity). I'm unsure of the 'one in' bit.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tip that I've seen before include "Empty" , "Dump; extremity" , "Gratuity; hint" , "End; overbalance" , "Helpful information; end" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
