Primitive, brutal (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barbaric

I believe this is a double definition.

'primitive' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

(Other definitions for barbaric that I've seen before include "Wild and savage" , "Uncivilized" , "Rabbi car for rough and uncivilised" , "Like 24 [BRUTE]" , "Cruel; primitive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
