Highly respected

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esteemed

'highly respected' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for esteemed that I've seen before include "Held in high regard, as customer may be" , "Prestigious" , "Well-regarded" , "Had great respect for" , "Respected and appreciated like customer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
