Tender emotion (9)

I believe the answer is:

sentiment

(Other definitions for sentiment that I've seen before include "Emotion, self-indulgent or insincere perhaps" , "judgement" , "Slush" , "Tender or romantic emotion" , "View, opinion, feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
