Mean, wretched (6)
I believe the answer is:
abject
This clue is a double definition.
'mean' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'wretched' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for abject that I've seen before include "Forlorn - humiliated" , "Wretched, lacking all pride - perhaps an apology" , "Completely without pride" , "Lacking all pride, say apology" , "Extreme, poverty say" .)
