Wise men from the East (4)
I believe the answer is:
magi
'wise men from the east' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for magi that I've seen before include "The three Wise Men of Bethlehem" , "men on special quest" , "Priests" , "Bearers of gold, frankincense and myrrh?" , "Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar" .)
