I believe the answer is:

sincere

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">earnest</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(sincere means earnest or genuine)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">heartfelt</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
