No, one book returned has feeling (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emotion

'feeling' is the definition.
(emotion is a kind of feeling)

'no one book returned' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'book' becomes 'tome' (a tome is a book).
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'no'+'i'+'tome'='noitome'
'noitome' reversed gives 'EMOTION'.

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emotion that I've seen before include "E.g. fear, hate etc." , "Intuitive feeling" , "Passion" , "Anger, perhaps" , "Feeling, say love or hate" .)

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