Bishop given not so much worship (5)
I believe the answer is:
bless
'much worship' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'bishop given not' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'not' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in other clues).
'b'+'less'='BLESS'
'so' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bless that I've seen before include "Render holy" , "Call God's favour upon" , "set aside for holy purpose?" , "Isn't that sweet?" , "Praise - consecrate" .)
