One’s bound to support British minister (6)
I believe the answer is:
bishop
'minister' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'one's bound to support british' is the wordplay.
'one's' becomes 'i's' (Roman numeral).
'bound' becomes 'hop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to support' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'is'+'hop'='ishop'
'ishop' put after 'b' is 'BISHOP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bishop that I've seen before include "Chesspiece which moves diagonally" , "Board member" , "Chess piece and senior member of the clergy" , "Powerful cleric" , "Chess piece; mulled wine" .)
