Utter, stark (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'utter' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'stark' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for sheer that I've seen before include "transparent fabric" , "avoid an unpleasant thing" , "Downright - deviation" , "total" , "Unqualified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
