Bishop close to accepting crown off Chancellor, European (8)
I believe the answer is:
berkeley
'bishop' is the definition.
(Berkeley is an example)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for berkeley that I've seen before include "University in California" , "American university" , "George -, Irish philosopher/bishop" , "Busby -, twetieth century director of film musicals" , "Thinking bishop" .)
