2 made present bishop's area (3)
I believe the answer is:
see
'area' is the definition.
(see is a kind of area)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "Bishop's responsibility; observe" , "Set eyes on" , "Watch, equal (a bet)" , "Perceive mentally" , "Observe a bishopric" .)
