Intend to be like Scrooge (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
I believe this is a double definition.
'intend' is the first definition.
(I know that intend can be written as mean)
'like scrooge' is the second definition.
(Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge is mean or miserly)
'to be' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "very good" , "Tight - average" , "Skilful" , "Nasty" , "Signify; miserly" .)
