Occupy the way nun dresses (7)
I believe the answer is:
inhabit
'occupy' is the definition.
(I know that occupy is a more specific form of the action inhabit)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inhabit that I've seen before include "Occupy - settle" , "Dwell in" , "Live in (a place)" , "Tenant" , "people" .)
