peer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an aristocrat?' is the definition.
(peer is a kind of aristocrat)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for peer that I've seen before include "Look closely at lord" , "Peep; nobleman" , "Struggle to see; equal" , "Look closely - nobleman" , "Member of the nobility" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
