Respected, distinguished (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eminent

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'respected' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'distinguished' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for eminent that I've seen before include "Respected; notable" , "Distinguished and admired" , "Illustrious like cardinal?" , "Respected; outstanding" , "Exalted in rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
