Scant, paltry (6)
I believe the answer is:
measly
I believe this is a double definition.
'scant' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'paltry' is the second definition.
(I know that paltry can be written as measly)
(Other definitions for measly that I've seen before include "not at all generous" , "on the meagre side" , "description of child's complaint" , "Spotted in bed, perhaps" , "ungenerous in amount" .)
