Insubstantial, somewhat irksome? Agreed (6)

I believe the answer is:

meagre

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

'somewhat irksome? agreed' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'MEAGRE' can be found hidden inside 'irksome agreed'.

(Other definitions for meagre that I've seen before include "Lacking in quantity or quality" , "weak" , "Scarce, not plentiful" , "Inadequate, scanty" , "deficient in amount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
