I will enter church or part of cathedral (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

choir

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

'cathedral' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'i will enter church or' is the wordplay.
'will enter' indicates putting letters inside.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'ch'+'or'='chor'
'i' inserted inside 'chor' is 'CHOIR'.

'part of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for choir that I've seen before include "warblers" , "set of singers" , "People in church" , "Body of singers" , "Vocal group" .)
