It appears to be viewed with shocked respect (7)
I believe the answer is:
spectre
'it appears to be viewed' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'shocked respect' is the wordplay.
'shocked' indicates an anagram (letters are shocked or disrupted).
'respect' with letters rearranged gives 'SPECTRE'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spectre that I've seen before include "after-image?" , "spirit" , "Enemy organisation for James Bond; ghost" , "Wraith" , "Narrow ravine" .)
