Threw a party for (5)
I believe the answer is:
feted
'threw a party for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for feted that I've seen before include "Wined, dined and honoured" , "Honoured lavishly" , "Wined and dined, celebrated" , "Honoured with festivities" , "Lionised" .)
