Noble look (4)

I believe the answer is:

peer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'noble' is the first definition.
(peer is a kind of noble)

'look' is the second definition.
(peering is a kind of looking)

(Other definitions for peer that I've seen before include "Look searchingly at lord?" , "Equal -- look searchingly" , "Noble; equal" , "Equal; nobleman" , "Noble; look intently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
