Savage, unfeeling (6)

I believe the answer is:

brutal

This clue is a double definition.

'savage' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'unfeeling' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for brutal that I've seen before include "Very cruel, merciless" , "Savagely violent" , "Cruel, heartless" , "extremely honest" , "Cruel and unfeeling like an animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
