A well-known J.P. (5)
I believe the answer is:
getty
'a well-known j p' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for getty that I've seen before include "John Paul - - , philanthropist" , "Malibu museum" , "Billionaire art collector" , "J.Paul - - , museum donor" .)
