Esteem or respect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regard

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'esteem' is the first definition.
(I know that esteem can be written as regard)

'respect' is the second definition.
(I know that respect can be written as regard)

(Other definitions for regard that I've seen before include "Esteem, respect" , "Consider; attention" , "given respect" , "hold in respect" , "Behold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
