I believe the answer is:

icon

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

'revered person's one to do' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'one to do' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'to do' becomes 'con' (both can mean to defraud).
'i'+'con'='ICON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Religious work" , "Symbolic person or image" , "Small image on computer screen" , "Sacred image or picture" , "Representation on wooden panel of saint" .)
