Most gentle (7)

I think it could be either:

mildest

meekest

'most gentle' is the definition.
('mild' can be similar in meaning to 'gentle')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mildest that I've seen before include "Most gentle" , "calmer than all the others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
