Filth and misery (7)
I believe the answer is:
squalor
'filth and misery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for squalor that I've seen before include "Dirty conditions" , "State of poverty and neglect" , "sleaze" , "What could be filthy" , "Dirty and unpleasant state (in which to live)" .)
