Foregone conclusion; proposal with feeling (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emotion

'feeling' is the definition.
(I know that emotion is a type of feeling)

'foregone conclusion proposal' is the wordplay.
'conclusion' suggests the final letters.
'proposal' becomes 'motion' (proposal at a meeting).
The final letter of 'foregone' is 'e'.
'e'+'motion'='EMOTION'

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emotion that I've seen before include "sense" , "Hatred or love, say" , "Feeling, say love or hate" , "Feeling such as joy, sorrow and fear" , "Feeling of joy, love, hate etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
