Which length description are you looking for?:

I believe this is a double definition.

'in a way' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to some extent' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for sort of that I've seen before include "in a way" , "Not quite, but almost" , "Not exactly" , "Possibly, to an extent" , "To some (great or small) extent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
