chassis

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'aid reduced by church' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'body' is the second definition.
(I know that chassis is a type of body)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chassis that I've seen before include "Vehicle structure" , "Body frame" , "Car's structural framework" , "vessel's structural framework" , "Body framework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
