Crossword Genius

Intend to be average (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean

This clue is a double definition.

'intend' is the first definition.
(I know that intend can be written as mean)

'be average' is the second definition.
(type of average)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Far from noble" , "middle course" , "Petty" , "cause" , "Norm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
