Scrooge, miser (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skinflint

This clue is a double definition.

'scrooge' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'miser' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for skinflint that I've seen before include "Niggard, scrooge" , "A miserly person like Scrooge" , "A mean, miserly person" , "Very ungenerous or stingy person" , "cheapskate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
