Miserly, mean (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

6

tight

This clue is a double definition.

'miserly' is the first definition.
(I know that miserly can be written as tight)

'mean' is the second definition.
(both can mean miserly)

(Other definitions for tight that I've seen before include "Trim" , "Sozzled; mean" , "Penny-pinching" , "Unlikely to be choosing the present" , "Mean; firmly fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
