Intend to be niggardly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean

This clue is a double definition.

'intend' is the first definition.
(I know that intend can be written as mean)

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

'to be' is the link.

(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Aim - low - average" , "Import" , "Niggardly" , "Signify; tight" , "design" .)
