Yours truly about to get bare (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

'bare' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'yours truly about' is the wordplay.
'yours truly' becomes 'me'.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'me'+'re'='MERE'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Nothing more than a small pool" , "Unimpressive" , "Nothing more than - water" , "President Hollande's mother?" , "Small area of standing water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
