The definition is He. Think if what it might stand for, and you should be able to parse it

Well done, Bharat. By elimination that had to be the definition of the clue if it wasn’t an &lit (a clue which contains all the wordplay and which read as a whole is the definition. They are unusual. Examples are:
“I’m a Muslim leader” (4) and “Cop in male form” (9).
