Read a generous part of proverb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adage

'proverb' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'read a generous part' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates a hidden word.
'ADAGE' is hidden within 'read a generous'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for adage that I've seen before include "Maxim, aphorism" , "Wise old saying" , "Axiom" , "Old saw" , "Old saying, maxim" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
