Incline towards being a little over-generous (5)
I believe the answer is:
verge
'incline' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a little over-generous' is the wordplay.
'a little' says the answer is hidden in the clue (a little bit of the clue).
'VERGE' is hidden within 'over generous'.
'towards being' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for verge that I've seen before include "Grassy road edge" , "Side of road" , "Margin or brink" , "Margin, edge" , "Grass edging" .)
