Remarkable, distinguished (7)
I believe the answer is:
notable
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'remarkable' is the first definition.
(I know that remarkable can be written as notable)
'distinguished' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for notable that I've seen before include "well known" , "Worthy of remark" , "Striking" , "Unusual" , "Remarkable, worthy of comment" .)
