Homer's boy receives a title (7)
I believe the answer is:
baronet
'title' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'homer's boy receives a' is the wordplay.
'homer's boy' becomes 'bart' (I've seen this in another clue).
'receives' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are received).
'a' becomes 'one'.
'bart' enclosing 'one' is 'BARONET'.
(Other definitions for baronet that I've seen before include "Nobleman" , "A Bronte (anag.)" , "Member of the British order of honour" , "One's entitled" , "Lowest hereditary title of honour" .)
