Revered one (4)
I believe the answer is:
idol
'revered one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "'There's a one-eyed yellow -' (Hayes)" , "Object of excessive love or devotion" , "Object of worship (or love?)" , "As before, fake" , "Effigy" .)
