Monkey is one high up in church (7)
I believe the answer is:
primate
This could be a double definition.
'monkey' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'one high up in church' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for primate that I've seen before include "bishop, perhaps" , "Archbishop - monkey, perhaps" , "Bishop; large mammal" , "Ape - cleric" , "Metropolitan" .)
