Look for chap on the right (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leer

'look' is the definition.
(leer is a kind of look)

'chap on the right' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'lee' (**).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'lee'+'r'='LEER'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for leer that I've seen before include "unpleasant look" , "Ogle, smirk" , "Stare suggestively" , "Gaze lasciviously at" , "Lewd look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
