Looked for aristocrat and journalist (6)
I believe the answer is:
peered
'looked' is the definition.
(peering is a kind of looking)
'aristocrat and journalist' is the wordplay.
'aristocrat' becomes 'peer' (peer is a kind of aristocrat).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'peer'+'ed'='PEERED'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for peered that I've seen before include "Looked closely" , "Look searchingly" , "Looked searchingly" , "Having been made a Lord < examined" , "Looked through narrowed eyes" .)
