Intend to get tight (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'intend' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend')
'to get' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'tight' is the third definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'tight')
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Close" , "Being near" , "Signify; average" , "Ungenerous" , "Average or mingy" .)
