Stingy fellow hiding a cigarette end (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
'stingy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'fellow hiding a cigarette end' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'hiding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'end' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'cigarette' is 'e'.
'man' enclosing 'e' is 'MEAN'.
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Signify; tight" , "Stingy in average way" , "Have in mind to be miserly?" , "Bad-tempered" , "Skilful" .)
