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 Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, The Irish Independent, The Mirror, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
