Note proposal of love for example (7)
I believe the answer is:
emotion
'love for example' is the definition.
(I know that love is a type of emotion)
'note proposal' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'proposal' becomes 'motion' (proposal at a meeting).
'e'+'motion'='EMOTION'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emotion that I've seen before include "Strong desire" , "Feeling of joy, love, hate etc" , "A strong instinctive feeling" , "reaction" , "Mental agitation" .)
