Bad-tempered minister of religion outside house (8)
I believe the answer is:
choleric
'bad-tempered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'minister of religion outside house' is the wordplay.
'minister of religion' becomes 'cleric'.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'cleric' enclosing 'ho' is 'CHOLERIC'.
(Other definitions for choleric that I've seen before include "Irascible" , "Of angry disposition, cliche or what?" , "Bad-tempered, irritable" , "Ill-tempered" , "Bad tempered, irritable" .)
