Fun a cleric can maybe rely on (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

revelry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fun' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a cleric can maybe rely on' is the wordplay.
'a cleric can' becomes 'rev' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'rely' is an anagram of 'elry'.
'rev' put into 'elry' is 'REVELRY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for revelry that I've seen before include "Riotous feasting" , "Merrymaking" , "Merriment" , "Noisy celebration" , "Feasting, noisy festivities" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
