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

'ritual' is the definition.
(I know that liturgy is a ritual)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for liturgy that I've seen before include "ritual" , "Form of worship" , "Prescribed forms for church services" , "Church rite" , "Religious rite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
