Gosh - a nobleman! (4)
I believe the answer is:
lord
'nobleman' is the definition.
(I know that nobleman can be written as Lord)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lord that I've seen before include "Feudal superior" , "Noble title" , "Member of Upper House" , "Leader of the 'Six Hundred'" , "Dismayed expression; ruler" .)
