The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with N and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in.
