Bordering on the niggardly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

near

This clue is a double definition.

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

'the niggardly' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for near that I've seen before include "Miserly and proximate" , "Close - tight" , "Miserly; approach" , "Approaching" , "unlikely to spend much?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
