Crossword Genius

One intending to be less generous (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meaner

I believe this is a double definition.

'one intending' is the first definition.
(someone meaning or intending something)

'less generous' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for meaner that I've seen before include "More stingy or parsimonious" , "Less generous" , "Rename as being more stingy" , "Rename (anag.)" , "Rename as being stingier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
