Penniless, broke (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skint

This clue is a double definition.

'penniless' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broke' is the second definition.
(both can mean struggling financially)

(Other definitions for skint that I've seen before include "On one's uppers" , "Without money (slang)" , "bust" , "Having little money" , "Impoverished" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
