Intrinsic nature (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essence

'intrinsic nature' is the definition.
(essence can mean something's nature or core)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for essence that I've seen before include "required property" , "Flavour, spirit" , "Perfume or concentrate" , "SE scene (anag.)" , "Extract; intrinsic nature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.
