Suggested maid avoids feuds on a regular basis (7)
I believe the answer is:
advised
'suggested' is the definition.
('advise' can be a synonym of 'suggest')
'maid avoids feuds on a regular basis' is the wordplay.
'on a regular basis' indicates alternate letters.
'maid'+'avoids'+'feuds'='maidavoidsfeuds'
The alternate letters of 'maidavoidsfeuds' are 'ADVISED'.
(Other definitions for advised that I've seen before include "Given recommendation" , "Notified" , "Sensible; recommended (a course of action)" , "Gave guidance to" , "Warned" .)
