Drape around clergyman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padre

'clergyman' is the definition.
(I know that Padre is a type of Priest)

'drape around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'drape' anagrammed gives 'PADRE'.

(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Cleric" , "clerical worker" , "Father" , "Man of god - drape (anag)" , "Army serviceman?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
