More elaborate lover (7)

I believe the answer is:

fancier

I believe this is a double definition.

'more elaborate' is the first definition.
('fancy' can be similar in meaning to 'elaborate')

'lover' is the second definition.
(fancier is a kind of lover)

(Other definitions for fancier that I've seen before include "connoisseur" , "More highly decorated" , "More baroque" , "one imagines" , "More elaborate - lover (of pigeons, for instance?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
