Spare list (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lean

This clue is a double definition.

'spare' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'list' is the second definition.
(both can mean to tilt)

(Other definitions for lean that I've seen before include "With no fat; slope" , "Slender" , "Of meat, with little or no fat" , "David ..., director of Ryan's Daughter" , "Inclination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Times.
