Cleric who went to Dixie (4)
I believe the answer is:
dean
'cleric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dean that I've seen before include "James ..., film actor" , "FILMSTAR" , "Administrator of a university department" , "Clergyman; narrow valley" , "Small valley - cathedral dignitary" .)
