Lair (3)

I think it could be either:

den

pen

'lair' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for den that I've seen before include "Animal's home or gent's study" , "Hidden lair of an animal" , "Wild animal's home" , "Animal's lair or man's study" , "Hiding place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, the LA Times, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Irish Independent, the Universal and The Guardian.
