Churchman has time in Swiss community (6)
I believe the answer is:
canton
'swiss community' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'churchman has time in' is the wordplay.
'churchman' becomes 'canon' (I've seen this in another clue).
'has' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'time in' becomes 't' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'canon' enclosing 't' is 'CANTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for canton that I've seen before include "Divison of Switzerland" , "Administrative subdivision of, eg, Switzerland" , "Old 5 [CHINESE] city" , "port in China" , "European territory" .)
