Crossword Genius

Match for nobleman (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peer

I believe this is a double definition.

'match' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'nobleman' is the second definition.
(peer is a kind of nobleman)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for peer that I've seen before include "Look closely at titled man?" , "Look hard through narrowed eyes" , "Struggle to look" , "Look closely at lord" , "in another place?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
