Country gent (6)

I believe the answer is:

squire

'country gent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for squire that I've seen before include "Chief landowner of an area" , "Country gentleman" , "Old landowner" , "[PILGRIM in the CANTERBURY TALES]" , "Local landowner; knight's attendant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
