Bloody exceptional (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rare

I believe this is a double definition.

'bloody' is the first definition.
(I know that bloody can be written as rare)

'exceptional' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for rare that I've seen before include "Not found often" , "Rear up to be uncommon" , "not often spotted" , "Very scarce like valuable antique" , "Unusual - exquisite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
