Doctor once said to be connected with Bath and Wells perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
diocesan
'bath and wells perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'doctor once said to be connected with' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'to be connected with' says to put letters next to each other.
'once' put after 'said' is 'saidonce'.
'saidonce' is an anagram of 'DIOCESAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diocesan that I've seen before include "Once said (anag.)" , "Of the territory of a bishop" , "See leader" , "Of an ecclesiastical see" , "Relating to a bishop's district" .)
