Devout priest discharged debts (4)
I believe the answer is:
ious
'debts' is the definition.
(promises to pay debts)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ious that I've seen is " Paper debts".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
