stonyhearted
Without any compassion
Stonyhearted means unfeeling, merciless, or incapable of sympathy.
A stonyhearted person remains unmoved by appeals to emotion or pleas for compassion: The stonyhearted landlord evicted the family despite their circumstances.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, suggesting a heart as cold and unyielding as stone.
