Headwear for the Archbishop of Canterbury (5)

I believe the answer is:

mitre

(Other definitions for mitre that I've seen before include "Corner joint - bishop's headdress" , "Sort of joint" , "Bishop's tall headdress" , "Liturgical headdress" , "Type of joint - bishop's hat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
