Y wearer (3)
I believe the answer is:
eli
'y wearer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "Highest priest at Shiloh" , "Man's name" , "- Whitney invented the cotton gin in seventeen ninety three" , "Distort then untruth to get a Biblical character" , "- Wallach, US actor" .)
