Admiration, in particular (7)
I believe the answer is:
respect
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'admiration' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'particular' is the second definition.
(in that particular or in that respect)
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Show honour to" , "estimation" , "High opinion or regard for" , "to abide by" , "Deference, obedience" .)
