Noun sense:

  1. Scarcity; lack.

No examples given; can't think how this would be used in a sentence. Archaic maybe? Mihia (talk) 18:53, 27 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

In fact, very, er, scant examples can be found by searching for "a scant of": "a scant of wood", "a scant of authority", "a scant of literature". I will list them properly in due course. Mihia (talk) 22:13, 27 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
