Hopefulness (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

optimism

'hopefulness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for optimism that I've seen before include "Confidence in the future" , "Glass half-full attitude" , "Looking on the bright side" , "Mind-frame that looks on the bright side" , "Confident outlook" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times, The Mirror and The Guardian.
