A British queen said to be good religious leader (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abbess

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

'religious leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a british queen' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in BBC).
'queen' becomes 'bess' (nickname for Elizabeth I).
'a'+'b'+'bess'='ABBESS'

'said to be good' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abbess that I've seen before include "Head of convent" , "She heads a religious community" , "Nuns' leader" , "Female superior" , "Religious leader" .)
