Liable to be lying down (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prone

This clue is a double definition.

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

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

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for prone that I've seen before include "Liable (to suffer) - lying down" , "Placed face down" , "Lying face down - inclined" , "Lying face downwards" , "Recumbent, likely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
