Padre dressed in shroud (5)
I believe the answer is:
drape
'shroud' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'padre dressed' is the wordplay.
'dressed' indicates an anagram ('dress' can mean 'prepare').
'padre' with letters rearranged gives 'DRAPE'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Hang (cloth) in folds (on something)" , "Loose fabric cover" , "Wrap loosely (with cloth)" , "Pared (anag.)" , "Cover with a loose cloth" .)
