An article we reverence (3)

I believe the answer is:

awe

'reverence' is the definition.
('awe' can be a synonym of 'reverence')

'an article we' is the wordplay.
'an article' becomes 'a' (indefinite article).
'a'+'we'='AWE'

(Other definitions for awe that I've seen before include "Amazement" , "Respectful fear or wonder 93)" , "Fear - veneration" , "Stupefied admiration" , "Great wonder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
