Crossword Genius

Indirect slanting (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oblique

This clue is a double definition.

'indirect' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'slanting' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for oblique that I've seen before include "Angled" , "Indirect - devious" , "Sloping; roundabout" , "This angle is obtuse or acute" , "Backhanded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
