Formal address to a man (3)

I believe the answer is:

sir

(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Poet and novelist" , "Title for knight or teacher" , "Polite or formal address to male" , "Honorary male title" , "Title given to 10 Across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
