Bent on getting a goal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intent

This clue is a double definition.

'bent on' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a goal' is the second definition.
(I know that goal can be written as intent)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "7 Purpose; fixed (upon)" , "Meaning -- determined" , "Mean to" , "Bent on, determined to" , "Purpose, design" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
