Crouch may be short and stocky (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squat

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'crouch' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'may' is a link.

'be' is the second definition.
(squating is a kind of being)

'short' is the third definition.
(similar in meaning)

'and' acts as a link.

'stocky' is the fourth definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for squat that I've seen before include "Short, low" , "Sit on heels" , "hunch" , "short but well-filled?" , "house-sit?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
