Most desolate (8)

I believe the answer is:

bleakest

'most desolate' is the definition.
('bleak' can be a synonym of 'desolate')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for bleakest that I've seen before include "Most stark" , "Most dismal and desolate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
