Crossword Genius

Drape around cleric (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padre

'cleric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drape around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'drape' is an anagram of 'PADRE'.

(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Man of god - drape (anag)" , "Chaplain to armed forces" , "Sky pilot (military slang)" , "Army chaplain" , "Father" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
