Present greeting bishop in doorway (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exhibit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'present' is the definition.
(I know that present can be written as exhibit)

'greeting bishop in doorway' is the wordplay.
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'doorway' becomes 'exit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hi'+'b'='hib'
'hib' inserted into 'exit' is 'EXHIBIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exhibit that I've seen before include "Something on show" , "Give public show, as of paintings" , "Show - piece of evidence in court" , "Manifest" , "Put on display" .)
