Particular esteem (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respect

This clue is a double definition.

'particular' is the first definition.
(both can mean a detail or matter for consideration)

'esteem' is the second definition.
(I know that esteem can be written as respect)

(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "relation" , "Comply with - deference" , "Pay attention to" , "Show deference (to)" , "Show honour to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
