More primitive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruder

'more primitive' is the definition.
('rude' can be a synonym of 'primitive')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ruder that I've seen before include "less pleasant in manner" , "Less mannerly" , "More impudent" , "comparatively unsophisticated" , "Coarser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
