Ordained cleric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deacon

'ordained cleric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deacon that I've seen before include "Churchman" , "Layman attending to church duties" , "Clergyman of low rank" , "Rank of clergy" , "Church official - canoed (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
