Clergyman with stoop breaking organ in nose (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prebendary

'clergyman' is the definition.
(prebendary is a kind of clergyman)

'stoop breaking organ in nose' is the wordplay.
'stoop' becomes 'bend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'breaking' is an insertion indicator.
'organ' becomes 'ear' (the ear is an organ).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nose' becomes 'pry' (to nose around is to pry).
'bend' going into 'ear' is 'ebendar'.
'ebendar' put inside 'pry' is 'PREBENDARY'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Another definition for prebendary that I've seen is " Cleric".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
