Crossword Genius

Kind, somewhat generous, or thoughtful (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sort

'kind' is the definition.
(I know that kind can be written as sort)

'somewhat generous or thoughtful' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'SORT' can be found hidden inside 'generous or thoughtful'.

(Other definitions for sort that I've seen before include "The kind to categorise" , "Type, category" , "fashion" , "Separate - kind" , "Group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
