Watery or papery (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thin

I believe this is a double definition.

'watery' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'papery' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for thin that I've seen before include "Skinny" , "With little thickness" , "Lean; make (plants) less crowded" , "Insubstantial" , "Lacking substance; not dense" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
