Frown, even more depressed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'frown even' is the first definition.
'lower' can be an answer for 'frown' (I know this). I'm not sure about the 'even' bit.

'more depressed' is the second definition.
('low' can be a synonym of 'depressed')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lower that I've seen before include "Take down" , "subordinate" , "Reduce" , "of lesser status" , "Let down; frown" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
