Cleryman moved diagonally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bishop


I'm afraid I can't even guess how this answer relates to the clue.

(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" .)
