Gentle man (7)

I believe the answer is:

clement

This clue is a double definition.

'gentle' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'man' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for clement that I've seen before include "Several popes" , "chap" , "Fine" , "Patron saint of tanners" , "nice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
