Crossword Genius

Signify average (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean

This clue is a double definition.

'signify' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'signify')

'average' is the second definition.
(type of average)

(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "mercenary" , "Despicable" , "Stingy; Scrooge-like" , "Name for being tight-fisted" , "Stingy in average way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
