Feeling, sentiment (7)
I believe the answer is:
emotion
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'feeling' is the first definition.
(I know that emotion is a type of feeling)
'sentiment' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for emotion that I've seen before include "Passion" , "Feeling, say love or hate" , "Fear possibly" , "Mental feeling" , "Mental agitation" .)
