Crossword Genius

Accuse bishop struggling again outside (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arraign

'accuse' is the definition.
(arraigning is a kind of accusing)

'bishop struggling again outside' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'struggling' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'outside' is an insertion indicator.
'again' with letters rearranged gives 'aaign'.
'rr' placed into 'aaign' is 'ARRAIGN'.

(Other definitions for arraign that I've seen before include "Act against" , "Call to account" , "Indict, accuse" , "Call before court to answer criminal charge" , "put on a charge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
