Minister breaking circle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleric

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

'breaking circle' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'circle' is an anagram of 'CLERIC'.

(Other definitions for cleric that I've seen before include "Eg, priest" , "Man of the cloth" , "Divine" , "Type of cloth, perhaps" , "Church official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
