"Ivanhoe" author
I believe the answer is:
scott
'ivanhoe author' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for scott that I've seen before include "British Antarctic explorer, died 1912" , "Sir Walter -, author of Guy Mannering" , "Ivanhoe author" , "one wanting to explore?" , "Novelist Sir Walter" .)
