'just' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'a little' indicates a hidden word (a little bit of the clue).
'BIT' can be found hidden inside 'exorbitant'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bit that I've seen before include "chip?" , "Cutting piece of a drill (3)" , "scrap" , "Segment" , "Small fragment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
