Imaginative to see vicar tee off (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creative

'imaginative' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'vicar tee off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'vicar'+'tee'='vicartee'
'vicartee' with letters rearranged gives 'CREATIVE'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for creative that I've seen before include "Artistic, able to make new things" , "Innovative in reactive way" , "Inventive, artistic" , "Artistically inventive" , "Showing imagination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
