Least, slightest (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minimal

This clue is a double definition.

'least' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'slightest' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for minimal that I've seen before include "Least possible; negligible" , "Of a smallest amount" , "Very little" , "barely worth considering" , "Token" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
