Beloved Bambi perhaps being heard (4)
I believe the answer is:
dear
'beloved' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'bambi perhaps being heard' is the wordplay.
'bambi perhaps' becomes 'deer' (deer in the Disney film).
'being heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'deer' sounds like 'DEAR'.
(Other definitions for dear that I've seen before include "Honey - costly" , "Baby" , "Needing plenty of bread" , "polite form of address" , "address for partner" .)
