First or original (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

primal

This clue is a double definition.

'first' is the first definition.
(primal can mean early or first)

'original' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for primal that I've seen before include "typifying some fear?" , "Existing from the beginning, basic" , "Original; chief" , "Relating to an early stage of evolution" , "Primitive or fundamental" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
