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