I believe the answer is:

effendi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'levantine gentleman' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'find fee fixed' is the wordplay.
'fixed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'find'+'fee'='findfee'
'findfee' anagrammed gives 'EFFENDI'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for effendi that I've seen before include "Turkish official" , "Learned Arab" , "respectable address" , "Title of respect in countries such as Turkey" , "Respected Arab" .)
