See love -- offered by him? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

romeo

'him?' is the definition.

'see love' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'rome' (the Holy See or See of Rome is home to the pope**).
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'rome'+'o'='ROMEO'

'offered by' is the link.

(Other definitions for romeo that I've seen before include "his tragedy one was late?" , "Shakespearean lover" , "He's a letter read out" , "Code word for the letter R" , "Comms code for R" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
