Thin; tilt (4)

I believe the answer is:

lean

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'thin' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)

'tilt' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for lean that I've seen before include "David ..., director of Ryan's Daughter" , "Thin; rest (against)" , "English film director" , "director in past" , "Inclination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
