How would you say I look? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eye

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

'look?' is the definition.
(I know that eye is a more specific form of the action look)

'how would you say i' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'you' could be 'ye' (historical version of 'you') and 'ye' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye that I've seen before include "round hole in sewer?" , "Location of 11dn" , "Organ of vision" , "Ireland's . . ., off the Dublin coast" , "Bit of a potato (or a needle?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
