Relation or relevance (7)
I believe the answer is:
bearing
I believe this is a double definition.
'relation' is the first definition.
(bearing is a kind of relation)
'relevance' is the second definition.
(I know that relevance can be written as bearing)
(Other definitions for bearing that I've seen before include "Manner - pivot - reference" , "Position" , "Giving birth" , "circular form?" , "Carriage; suffering" .)
