First, original (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

primal

I believe this 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 "From a very early time" , "First; primitive" , "Original - basic" , "Original or primitive" , "Most important (scream therapy?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Evening Standard.
