Bowed and leaning (4)
I believe the answer is:
bent
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'bowed' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'leaning' is the second definition.
(I know that leaning can be written as bent)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for bent that I've seen before include "Twisted - corrupt" , "Crooked - penchant" , "Personal inclination" , "Twisted or crooked" , "Morally crooked" .)
