brother

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

'a monk?' is the definition.
(title for a monk)

'fuss about romeo' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'romeo' could be 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'fuss' could be 'bother' (synonyms) and 'bother' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'becoming' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
