Sombre accent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grave

I believe this is a double definition.

'sombre' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'accent' is the second definition.
(grave is a kind of accent)

(Other definitions for grave that I've seen before include "Dignified" , "Grim-faced" , "Solemn, serious" , "Serious in cemetery?" , "In which to lay a corpse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
