I believe the answer is:

venerable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'respected' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'even affected by crowd to get bowled out' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'even' is 'vene' which is located in the answer.
'bowled' could be 'b' (cricket abbreviation) and 'b' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rale' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
