Staid, solemn (5)

I believe the answer is:

sober

This clue is a double definition.

'staid' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'solemn' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for sober that I've seen before include "Temperate" , "Serious, dull" , "Earnest" , "Dignified and serious" , "Sedate and rational" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
