Self-regard (3)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
ego
'self-regard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ego that I've seen before include "Part of the mind" , "One's image of oneself" , "(Person's) sense of self-esteem" , "See 21 Down" , "Consciousness" .)
