Deliberately and pitilessly causing pain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cruel

'deliberately and pitilessly causing pain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cruel that I've seen before include "Diabolical" , "Barbaric" , "Lucre (anag.)" , "Brutal" , "Devoid of pity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
