Stand for penny-pinching (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean

This clue is a double definition.

'stand for' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'penny-pinching' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Niggardly" , "Stingy; Scrooge-like" , "Scrooge?" , "Intend - miserly" , "Import" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
