Ancient Qumran inhabitant (6)
I believe the answer is:
essene
'ancient qumran inhabitant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for essene that I've seen before include "Jewish frater" , "Old Jewish sectarian" , "Early Jewish ascetic" , "Member of Dead Sea Scrolls sect" , "Zealot" .)
