Guerdon (6)
I believe the answer is:
reward
'guerdon' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Gift or prize for good deed or help" , "Profit, return" , "Sum of money offered" , "'Virtue is its own . . . . . .'" , "Bounty; recompense" .)
