Grandmother, affectionately (4)
I believe the answer is:
nana
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">grandmother affectionately</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for nana that I've seen before include "Fool; novel by Zola" , "Darling dog" , "Zola tale of a courtesan" , "Informal grandmother" , "granny" .)
