Drape round clergyman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padre

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

'drape round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'drape' with letters rearranged gives 'PADRE'.

(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Army chaplain" , "Army serviceman?" , "Services' chaplain" , "A military clergyman" , "clerical worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
