Man or mandrill (7)
I believe the answer is:
primate
'man or mandrill' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for primate that I've seen before include "Man (or monkey)" , "C of E archbishop" , "Highest-ranking bishop" , "Man in the mitre" , "Bishop; large mammal" .)
