I believe the answer is:
publican
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">inn-keeper</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for publican that I've seen before include "Landlord or landlady" , "Inn-keeper or old Roman tax collector" , "Bar licensee" , "Mine host" , "Tavern keeper" .)
