The look of an old Indian army man? (5)
I believe the answer is:
dekko
'the look' is the definition.
(dekko is a kind of look)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dekko that I've seen before include "Shufti" , "Look-see" , "Quick look or glance" , "Quick glance (informal)" , "Butcher's" .)
