Life, being (9)
I believe the answer is:
existence
I believe this is a double definition.
'life' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'being' is the second definition.
(I know that being can be written as existence)
(Other definitions for existence that I've seen before include "The business of being" , "A way of living" , "survival" , "Way of life" , "State of being" .)
