Crossword Genius

Blessed with not as much (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

less

'not as much' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'blessed with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'LESS' is hidden within 'blessed'.

(Other definitions for less that I've seen before include "more, as they say" , "Fewer in number" , "So-called St James" , "Fewer; minus" , "Wanting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
