Tend, incline (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lean

This clue is a double definition.

'tend' is the first definition.
(I know that tend can be written as lean)

'incline' is the second definition.
(I know that incline is a more specific form of lean)

(Other definitions for lean that I've seen before include "Of meat, with little or no fat" , "unremunerative" , "What Jack Sprat's wife couldn't eat" , "Without excess flesh" , "Slight - incline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
