About to suppress hesitation with computer system for screen in church (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reredos

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

'screen in church' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about to suppress hesitation with computer system' is the wordplay.
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'to suppress hesitation with' becomes 'erer' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'computer system' becomes 'dos' (I've seen this in another clue).
'erer' reversed gives 'rere'.
'rere'+'dos'='REREDOS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reredos that I've seen before include "Red rose could show a screen behind the altar" , "Fireback" , "Back of fireplace" , "Painted screen behind an altar" , "Wall decoration behind altar" .)
