Admiration for new sceptre (7)
I believe the answer is:
respect
'admiration' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'new sceptre' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'sceptre' anagrammed gives 'RESPECT'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Appreciate - consideration" , "Refuse to offend" , "value" , "Appreciate - courtesy" , "Due regard; detail" .)
