stonyhearted

/stˈɑnɪhˌɑɹɾᵻd/ adj

Cruel, compassionless, discompassionate, as if having a heart made of stone.

Word Origin Stonyhearted is a compound of stony (from stone) and hearted (having a heart). Stone comes from Proto-Germanic *stainaz, and heart from *hertō. The -y and -ed suffixes turn it into an adjective meaning 'having a heart like stone' — cold, unfeeling. The same roots give us stoniness, heartless, and kindhearted.
