I believe the answer is:
gentle
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">mild</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">kindly</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for gentle that I've seen before include "Moderate, quiet; a maggot" , "Mild, kind, tender" , "Mild; a maggot" , "Moderate in effect" , "'Do not go ... into that good night'/Thomas" .)
