Padre destroyed curtain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drape

'curtain' is the definition.
(I know that curtain can be written as drape)

'padre destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'padre' anagrammed gives 'DRAPE'.

(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Hang (cloth) loosely" , "Cover loosely for padre" , "Adorn loosely (with cloth)" , "Spread (cloth over)" , "Screen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
