An abrupt "That's pricey" (5)
I believe the answer is:
steep
I believe this is a double definition.
'an abrupt' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'that's pricey' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for steep that I've seen before include "Sharply inclined" , "pickle" , "Stiff - thoroughly wet" , "Soak thoroughly - precipitous" , "Having a sharp incline" .)
