regards

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

'for compliments' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for regards that I've seen before include "what to put before signature?" , "Best wishes" , "Kindly greetings conveyed in a message" , "word written near end of letter?" , "Gets a load of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
