Rather, a little (8)
I believe the answer is:
somewhat
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'rather' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a little' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for somewhat that I've seen before include "To some degree, sort of" , "up to a point" , "Partially, to a degree" , "To a moderate extent" , "To an extent, a little" .)
