Dignified accent (5)
I believe the answer is:
grave
This clue is a double definition.
'dignified' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'accent' is the second definition.
(I know that grave is a type of accent)
(Other definitions for grave that I've seen before include "Grim-faced" , "Sober" , "Solemn in a cemetery?" , "Burial site" , "Last resting place" .)
