The most you can expect from a generous parent (7)
I believe the answer is:
maximum
'the most' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'can expect from a generous parent' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'can' could be 'ax' (terminate) and 'ax' is present in the answer.
'parent' could be 'mum' (mum means a mother) and 'mum' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'you' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maximum that I've seen before include "Highest amount" , "Greatest amount" , "The largest possible quantity or degree" , "Largest in group of numbers" , "Top" .)
