<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">sheltered side</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Towards the side away from the wind (naut)" , "Revolutionary general" , "Confederate general" , "Protection" , "actor" .)
