Motives (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reasons

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">motives</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(reason is a kind of motive)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for reasons that I've seen before include "excuses" , "Motives, explanations" , "Thinks logically" , "Rational motives" , "Period of reduced economic activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Mirror.
