Outspoken, direct (10)
I believe the answer is:
forthright
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'outspoken' is the first definition.
(I know that outspoken can be written as forthright)
'direct' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for forthright that I've seen before include "Direct, outspoken" , "straightforward" , "Straight-talking" , "Open" , "Candid" .)
