Facets (7)
I believe the answer is:
aspects
'facets' is the definition.
('aspect' can be a synonym of 'facet')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for aspects that I've seen before include "Appearances presented by saps etc." , "Elements; views" , "Ways of considering a matter" , "Appearance, facet" , "Looks, scenes, vistas" .)
