Generous family with daughter (4)
I believe the answer is:
kind
'generous' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'family with daughter' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'kin'+'d'='KIND'
(Other definitions for kind that I've seen before include "Benevolent - variety" , "Generously disposed" , "Gracious" , "Sort; considerate, friendly" , "Generous - type" .)
