Fat landowner that's repelled one (4)
I believe the answer is:
lard
'fat' is the definition.
(lard is a kind of fat)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lard that I've seen before include "Clarified pig fat" , "Animal fat" , "Pig's fat" , "Hard cooking fat" , "Aggrandise - embellish" .)
