Maybe hate proposal made electronically? (7)
I believe the answer is:
emotion
'maybe hate' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both feelings as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'proposal made electronically?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'proposal' could be 'motion' (proposal at a meeting) and 'motion' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emotion that I've seen before include "reaction" , "sense" , "Strong feeling, love or jealousy" , "Feeling like love or fear" , "Mental feeling" .)
