Inclinations of angles in shape (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leanings

'inclinations' is the definition.
(leaning is a kind of inclination)

'angles in shape' is the wordplay.
'shape' indicates an anagram.
'angles'+'in'='anglesin'
'anglesin' is an anagram of 'LEANINGS'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for leanings that I've seen before include "biases" , "Tendencies or penchants" , "Inclinations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
