Seen in time another like Scrooge? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean

'scrooge?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'seen in time another like' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MEAN' can be found hidden inside 'time another like'.

(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Intend; unkind" , "Name for being stingy" , "Mid-point" , "Paltry" , "Ungenerous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
