Upset faces after he loses husband's respect (6)
I believe the answer is:
esteem
'respect' is the definition.
(I know that respect can be written as esteem)
'upset faces after he loses husband's' is the wordplay.
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'faces' becomes 'meets' (I've seen this in another clue).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'loses' is a deletion indicator.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'he' with 'h' removed is 'e'.
'meets'+'e'='meetse'
'meetse' written backwards gives 'ESTEEM'.
(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "Revere(nce)" , "Honour - regard" , "Think well of" , "Hold in high regard and respect" , "Revere - prize" .)
