Title for man giving nowt ultimately away? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miser

'title' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for miser that I've seen before include "Money-grubber" , "Wealth hoarder" , "Niggardly person" , "Curmudgeon" , "Avaricious hoarder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
