Place for an earring (4)
I believe the answer is:
lobe
'place for an earring' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lobe that I've seen before include "Rounded part (of organ)" , "Leaf division" , "Part of ear or leaf" , "Bottom part of ear" , "Lower part of the ear" .)
