Bare, exposed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleak

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bare' is the first definition.
(I know that bare can be written as bleak)

'exposed' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for bleak that I've seen before include "Bare, inhospitable" , "Dreary; cold, miserable" , "Novel house" , "raw > fish" , "''... House'' (Dickens)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
