Sleazy, squalid (6)

I believe the answer is:

sordid

This clue is a double definition.

'sleazy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'squalid' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for sordid that I've seen before include "meanness" , "Squalid and depraved" , "Mean and grubby" , "Squalid - base" , "Squalid, not honourable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Irish Times.
