Cheapskate with no tip for meal, sorry! (9)
I believe the answer is:
miserable
'sorry' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cheapskate with no tip for meal' is the wordplay.
'cheapskate' becomes 'miser' (I've seen this before).
'with no tip for' means to remove the first letter.
'meal' becomes 'table'.
'table' with its first letter removed is 'able'.
'miser'+'able'='MISERABLE'
(Other definitions for miserable that I've seen before include "Wretched, doleful" , "Dreary - pathetic" , "Wretched, pitiful" , "Being sad" , "Glum, wretched" .)
