Frankness (7)

I think it could be either:

candour

honesty

'frankness' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for candour that I've seen before include "open)" , "show frankness" , "Forthrightness" , "Frankness, openness" , "telling it like it is" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Mirror and The Telegraph.
