Look for a very quiet listener (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appear

'look' is the definition.
('appear' can be a synonym of 'look')

'a very quiet listener' is the wordplay.
'very quiet' becomes 'pp'.
'listener' becomes 'ear' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'pp'+'ear'='APPEAR'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "hove in sight" , "Seem or materialise" , "Turn up" , "Make an entrance as ghost may" , "Look - materialise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
