Crossword Genius

Sumptuous drunkard (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lush

This clue is a double definition.

'sumptuous' is the first definition.
(I know that sumptuous can be written as lush)

'drunkard' is the second definition.
(I know that lush is a type of drunkard)

(Other definitions for lush that I've seen before include "Succulent - heavy drinker" , "Green and growing abundantly" , "he drinks a lot!" , "Flourishing - drunkard (slang)" , "sponge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
