One among sheep as to religion? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pastor
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'among sheep as to religion?' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'PASTOR' is hidden within 'sheep as to religion'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pastor that I've seen before include "Minister; shepherd" , "One with a flock (of people)" , "Member of the clergy" , "Churchman" , "Flock's leader" .)
