Not figurative (7)
I believe the answer is:
literal
'not figurative' is the definition.
('literal' is the opposite to 'figurative')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for literal that I've seen before include "Ill rate (anag.)" , "Lacking imagination; misprint" , "Using words in their most basic sense, exact" , "Verbatim - true" , "mistake" .)
