Benevolent, giving (8)
I believe the answer is:
generous
I believe this is a double definition.
'benevolent' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'giving' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for generous that I've seen before include "Free" , "Ample" , "Kind towards others" , "Beneficent, perhaps to a fault" , "Lavish" .)
