A politician greeting bishop promises to be versatile? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amphibious

'be versatile?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a politician greeting bishop promises' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'promises' becomes 'IOUs' (promises to pay a debt).
'a'+'mp'+'hi'+'b'+'ious'='AMPHIBIOUS'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for amphibious that I've seen is " For use on land and in water".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
