Hardly fair (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

just

This clue is a double definition.

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

'fair' is the second definition.
(Synonym)

(Other definitions for just that I've seen before include "This very minute" , "Ethically right" , "And nothing more" , "By the skin of your teeth - equitable" , "legal?" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com and The Times.
