Joke ultimately unsavoury and feeble (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puny

'feeble' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'joke ultimately unsavoury' is the wordplay.
'joke' becomes 'pun' (punning is a kind of joking).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'unsavoury' is 'y'.
'pun'+'y'='PUNY'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for puny that I've seen before include "Insignificant" , "Feeble, under-sized" , "Slight" , "Small and feeble" , "Frail and weedy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
