It's strictly true but unimaginative (6-2-4)
I believe the answer is:
matter-of-fact
'unimaginative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matter-of-fact that I've seen before include "Straightforward and unemotional" , "Commonplace" , "Down to earth" , "Unimaginative, emotionless" , "Unemotional and practical" .)
