Sanity; cause or motive (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reason

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sanity' is the first definition.
(reason is a kind of sanity)

'cause or motive' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for reason that I've seen before include "Sanity and logic" , "Power of thought" , "Defence" , "Motive; argue" , "logical argument" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
