Mendicant monk such as a Dominican or Franciscan (5)

I believe the answer is:

friar

(Other definitions for friar that I've seen before include "Male member of a mendicant religious order" , "Mendicant monk" , "Religious brother" , "Monk perhaps" , "Mendicant preacher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
