Bishop appears topless in link (6)
I believe the answer is:
relate
'link' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relate that I've seen before include "Narrate or associate" , "Narrate or connect things" , "Empathise" , "Narrate, tell in detail" , "Narrate in Tralee" .)
