Going round dressed like a priest (10)
I believe the answer is:
investment
'going' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for investment that I've seen before include "Outlay for profit" , "Something bought for its future value" , "Thing worth buying for the future" , "Thing worth buying for expected profit" , "siege" .)
