Look, Lord (4)

I believe the answer is:

peer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'look' is the first definition.
(to peer at something is to look at it)

'lord' is the second definition.
(peer is a kind of lord)

(Other definitions for peer that I've seen before include "Coequal" , "Look closely at equal" , "Look with difficulty; equal" , "Struggle to see; equal" , "Gaze" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
