Fine definition of "benevolent" (4-7)

I believe the answer is:

well-meaning

'benevolent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fine definition' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'well' ('well' can be similar in meaning to 'fine').
'definition' becomes 'meaning' (I've seen this before).
'well'+'meaning'='WELL-MEANING'

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for well-meaning that I've seen is " Having good, if sometimes ill-advised, intentions".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
