Not far from being tight-fisted? (4)
I believe the answer is:
near
I believe this is a triple definition!
'not far' is the first definition.
('near' is the opposite to 'far')
'from' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'being' acts as a link.
'tight-fisted?' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for near that I've seen before include "A short distance away" , "Close, not far away" , "Close to - stingy - approach" , "Close-fisted - approach" , "Easy to reach - hard to touch!" .)
