Cleryman moved diagonally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bishop


If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.

(Other definitions for bishop that I've seen before include "Chesspiece which moves diagonally" , "see supervisor" , "Chess piece and senior religious person" , "Chess piece and senior member of the clergy" , "one of four beginning on board" .)
