Barely fair (4)

I believe the answer is:

just

This clue is a double definition.

'barely' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'fair?' is the second definition.
(Synonym)

(Other definitions for just that I've seen before include "Barely - deserved" , "This very minute" , "Barely - equitable" , "By a whisker" , "Recently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
