Hard-up (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poor

'hard-up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for poor that I've seen before include "They used to have a law" , "Not good, wealthy" , "On low income" , "Indigent or substandard" , "(Person) with little money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
