Incline to be thin (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lean

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'incline' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'to be' is the second definition.
(leaning is a kind of being)

'thin' is the third definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for lean that I've seen before include "With no fat; slope" , "English film director" , "List; thin" , "Inclination" , "Insufficient - incline" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Mirror, The Irish News and The Daily Express.
