"Dear" man (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sir

'dear man' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Title given to baronet" , "Formal term of address" , "Title of Kt or Bart" , "Polite term of address for a man" , "... ___ John Major" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
