Most near (7)
I believe the answer is:
closest
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">most near</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('close' can be similar in meaning to 'near')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for closest that I've seen before include "Most intimate" , "Nearest or most sultry" , "Nearest or meanest" , "Most stuffy" , "Superlatively dense" .)
