Crossword Genius

... indeed, other ditties and prayers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evensongs

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

'prayers' is the definition.
(evensong is a type of prayer)

'indeed other ditties' is the wordplay.
'indeed' becomes 'even'.
'other ditties' becomes 'songs' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'other' bit.).
'even'+'songs'='EVENSONGS'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for evensongs that I've seen is " Church services".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
