Very little élan (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dash

This clue is a double definition.

'very little' is the first definition.

'elan' is the second definition.
(both can mean energy)

(Other definitions for dash that I've seen before include "gratuity" , "Hurry ("must ____!")" , "Go quickly" , "Run hurriedly; hyphen" , "Stroke < > to frustrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
