Crossword Genius

Portly porter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stout

This clue is a double definition.

'portly' is the first definition.
('stout' can be a synonym of 'portly')

'porter' is the second definition.
('stout' can be a synonym of 'porter')

(Other definitions for stout that I've seen before include "Inured to fatigue and hardship" , "Rather fat, stocky" , "Rather fat, drink" , "of above-average weight" , "Portly - porter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Guardian.
