Loaned fast (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lent

I believe this is a double definition.

'loaned' is the first definition.
('lend' can be a synonym of 'loan')

'fast' is the second definition.
(Lent is a period of fasting in Christianity)

(Other definitions for lent that I've seen before include "Forty days of penance" , "Time of fasting" , "Advanced" , "Christian penitential period" , "Gave the use of for a time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
