I chip orbs out for diocese (9)
I believe the answer is:
bishopric
'for diocese' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i chip orbs out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'i'+'chip'+'orbs'='ichiporbs'
'ichiporbs' anagrammed gives 'BISHOPRIC'.
(Other definitions for bishopric that I've seen before include "position of a minister" , "See - diocese" , "Phobic sir (anag)" , "Episcopate" , "Church office" .)
