A padre upset by military display (6)
I believe the answer is:
parade
'military display' is the definition.
'parade' can be an answer for 'display' (parade is a kind of display). I am not sure about the 'military' bit.
'a padre upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'padre'='apadre'
'apadre' anagrammed gives 'PARADE'.
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parade that I've seen before include "Row of shops, march" , "exhibition" , "Air - display" , "Public procession or ceremonial march" , "Assembly of troops for inspection" .)
