Mother's kind (6)
I believe the answer is:
nature
This might be a double definition.
'mother's' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'kind' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nature that I've seen before include "Fundamental character" , "Disposition, temperament" , "Motherly" , "Essential quality" , "Essential qualities or characteristics" .)
