Joshua's father and sister (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nun

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'joshua's father' is the first definition.
(Nun is the father of Joshua in the Bible)

'sister' is the second definition.
(sister is a term of address for a nun)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for nun that I've seen before include "Woman in Holy Orders" , "eg Carmelite" , "Member of convent" , "Black and white pigeon" , "Priory female" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
