Manage to make ceremonial cloak (4)
I believe the answer is:
cope
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'manage' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'to make' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'ceremonial cloak' is the third definition.
(cloak worn by a priest)
(Other definitions for cope that I've seen before include "Rise to the occasion" , "Survive" , "Manage, come to terms with" , "Manage effectively" , "Priest's ceremonial cloak" .)
