Leave boring part for sectarian (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bigot

'sectarian' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leave boring part' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go'.
'boring' indicates putting letters inside (some letters must 'bore' a hole into other letters).
'part' becomes 'bit' (both mean a piece of something).
'go' going inside 'bit' is 'BIGOT'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bigot that I've seen before include "Intolerant type" , "One is prejudiced and intolerant" , "Fanatic" , "Racist or sexist?" , "Intolerantly prejudiced person" .)
