Very merry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jolly

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'very' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'merry' is the second definition.
('jolly' can be a synonym of 'merry')

(Other definitions for jolly that I've seen before include "all-expenses-paid trip" , "Good-humoured, cheerful" , "Royal Marine (slang)" , "Very - jovial" , "Happy, cheerful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
