Title for gent regularly fined, we hear (7)
I believe the answer is:
effendi
'title' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Title of respect' mean 'effendi' so perhaps 'title' could also mean 'effendi')
'gent regularly fined we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'fined' is 'fendi' which is present in the answer.
'we hear' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'f' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for effendi that I've seen before include "Learned Arab" , "Title of respect in countries such as Turkey" , "Eastern Mediterranean honorific" , "Respected Arab" , "educated Arab?" .)
