Liable; lying flat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prone

I believe this is a double definition.

'liable' is the first definition.
(both can mean having a tendency for something)

'lying flat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for prone that I've seen before include "Lying face down - inclined" , "Prostrate" , "Lying face downward" , "Given" , "Lying face down or likely to do something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
