The uniting word is
RAINBOW!!!
Because
Each of these clue a different 7 character word:
1. A GRANMA = anagram of 'ANAGRAM'
2. TO BE PAID = 'PAYABLE'
3. MACHINE-LIKE = 'ROBOTIC'
4. LIVE AGAIN (LINGUA MEA) = latin for revive = ‘REDIVIV’
Giving this squaare:
ANAGRAM
PAYABLE
ROBOTIC
REDIVIV
Now
If we compare these to the dots and consider the letters where there are no dots, we get:
G
Y B
O I
R V
This is
ROYGBIV - the colours of the rainbow, in the shape of a bow!
In fact, treating the dots as raindrops, it literally forms a bow in the rain!
So the uniting word is
RAINBOW!!!

$\begingroup$ Correct! +1 I was unsure about the last word but according to google reveal spoiler Rediviv (a variation of Rediviva) can mean "living again/reborn" $\endgroup$Prim3numbah– Prim3numbah2026-01-31 16:31:17 +00:00Commented 14 hours ago

1$\begingroup$ @Prim3numbah ahhh okay that makes sense, all the word pattern finders I used didn’t return any results for 7 letters ending in v, so thought I might be missing something. Nice puzzle!!! $\endgroup$Beastly Gerbil– Beastly Gerbil2026-01-31 18:13:11 +00:00Commented 13 hours ago
