Serious, important (10)

I believe the answer is:

meaningful

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'serious' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'important' is the second definition.
(associated in meaning)

(Other definitions for meaningful that I've seen before include "Important" , "Significant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
