Crossword Genius

Concentrating hard on, aim (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intent

This clue is a triple definition!

'concentrating' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hard' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'on' acts as a link.

'aim' is the third definition.
(I know that aim can be written as intent)

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Purpose, design" , "Design, aim" , "Objective" , "Eager" , "Bent on, determined to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
