Incline to be a playboy? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rake

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'incline' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a playboy?' is the second definition.
(old-fashioned term for a womanising man)

'to be' is the link.

(Other definitions for rake that I've seen before include "Dissipated type; garden implement" , "Playboy" , "Degenerate" , "One may see a croupier with one" , "Dissolute person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
