Esteem or respect (6)

I believe the answer is:

regard

This clue is a double definition.

'esteem' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'respect' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(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 Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
