Kind governor initially found in country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

benign

'kind' is the definition.
(benign can mean kind or generous)

'governor initially found in country' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'country' becomes 'benin' (Benin is an example).
The initial letter of 'governor' is 'g'.
'g' inserted within 'benin' is 'BENIGN'.

(Other definitions for benign that I've seen before include "Salubrious" , "'Pleasant and kind, not harmful (6)'" , "Kindly or non-malignant" , "Genial, kindly" , "Kindly or not malignant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
