Born through love, you would like Cyclops (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-eyed

'like cyclops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'born through love you would' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'nee' (I've seen this before**).
'through' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'you' becomes 'ye'.
'would' becomes 'd' (I've seen this in other clues).
'o'+'ye'='oye'
'nee' put inside 'oye' is 'oneeye'.
'oneeye'+'d'='ONE-EYED'

(Other definitions for one-eyed that I've seen before include "Like the Jack of spades or hearts" , "Like Cyclops" , "''In the country of the blind, the . . .-. . . . man is King''" , "Monocular" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
