Generous national publication's first intention to embrace love (11)
I believe the answer is:
magnanimous
'generous' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'national publication's first intention to embrace love' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'national' could be 'n' (abbreviation listed in Chambers) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'love' could be 'o' (love means zero in tennis) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'publication' could be 'mag' (abbreviation for magazine) and 'mag' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for magnanimous that I've seen before include "Generous, forgiving" , "Big-hearted, generous" .)
