Official tempted woman after scripture class (5)
I believe the answer is:
reeve
'official' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'woman after scripture class' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'scripture class' becomes 'RE' (abbreviation for Religious Education).
'eve' put after 're' is 'REEVE'.
'tempted' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "The bailiff to run a rope through" , "Chief magistrate (hist.); pass (rope) through hole" , "One of Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims" , "Anglo-Saxon magistrate - female bird - pass (a rope) through a hole" , "[PILGRIM in the CANTERBURY TALES]" .)
