Fate’s more peaceful, as some would say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

karma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fate's' is the definition.
(karma is a kind of fate)

'more peaceful as some would say' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'more' could be 'm' and 'm' is present in the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'kra' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Fate; result of one's past deeds" , "Hindu principle determining fate in re-incarnation" , "reaping what's sown" , "Buddhist principle of inevitable consequence" , "Lifetime's actions that set fate for next life" .)
