Kind of instinct (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maternal

'kind of instinct' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for maternal that I've seen before include "Of a mother or motherhood" , "On the mother's side" , "Protective" , "Motherly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
