Debussy maybe receiving praise in church (6)
I believe the answer is:
claude
'debussy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'receiving praise in church' is the wordplay.
'receiving' indicates putting letters inside.
'praise' becomes 'laud' (lauding is a kind of praising).
'in church' becomes 'ce' (Church of England. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'laud' placed within 'ce' is 'CLAUDE'.
'maybe' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for claude that I've seen before include "- Debussy, nineteenth-twentieth century French composer" , "Rains perhaps" , "--- Lorrain, painter; --- Debussy" , "Man" , "Name shared by Monet, Debussy" .)
