A religious person in domestic story (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narrative

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

'story' is the definition.
(I know that story can be written as narrative)

'a religious person in domestic' is the wordplay.
'a religious person' becomes 'arr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'domestic' becomes 'native' (similar in meaning).
'arr' inserted within 'native' is 'NARRATIVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for narrative that I've seen before include "Verbal account" , "Spoken account; story" , "Story line" , "Story recounting events" , "Popeye's vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
