Member of religious community has been wicked, incited evil (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

benedictine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'member of religious community' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'been wicked incited evil' is the wordplay.
'wicked' indicates an anagram.
'evil' indicates anagramming the letters.
'been' is an anagram of 'bene'.
'incited' anagrammed gives 'dictine'.
'bene'+'dictine'='BENEDICTINE'

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for benedictine that I've seen before include "Ampleforth, Downside order of monks" , "drink" , "Religious" , "Monk - nun - liqueur" , "Liqueur - monastic order" .)
