Wise, having name for male disposition (6)
I believe the answer is:
nature
'wise' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'name for male disposition' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'nat'.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'male disposition' becomes 'ure' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'nat'+'ure'='NATURE'
'having' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nature that I've seen before include "Essential quality" , "Character (of a person or thing)" , "Character - wildlife" , "The world with allits features and living things" , "what's seen in the country?" .)
