stonehearted
Lacking all compassion
Stonehearted means unfeeling or merciless—having a heart of stone.
The word describes someone unmoved by others' suffering or appeals: The stonehearted landlord evicted the family despite their pleas.
It's literary and somewhat old-fashioned, more likely to appear in fiction than everyday speech.
