Crossword Genius

Be inclined to help (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tend

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'be inclined' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'help' is the second definition.
(I know that attend is the is a more specific form of the action of tend.)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tend that I've seen before include "Incline; cultivate" , "Incline - mind" , "Have inclination or care for" , "Look after (the sick)" , "Incline, lean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
