Is curate upset about the beginning of Holy Sacrament? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eucharist

'sacrament?' is the definition.
(Eucharist is an example)

'is curate upset about the beginning of holy' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the beginning of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'holy' is 'h'.
'is'+'curate'='iscurate'
'iscurate' is an anagram of 'eucarist'.
'eucarist' enclosing 'h' is 'EUCHARIST'.

(Other definitions for eucharist that I've seen before include "host" , "Consecrated bread" , "Holy Communion" , "Mass" , "church service" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
