Made a 'Sir' (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
knighted
'made a sir' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for knighted that I've seen before include "Made a Sir" , "Dubbed 'Sir'" , "Given an honour" , "Given a title" .)
