Crossword Genius

Priest very disposed to obstinacy (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perversity

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

'priest very disposed' is the wordplay.
'disposed' indicates an anagram.
'priest'+'very'='priestvery'
'priestvery' anagrammed gives 'PERVERSITY'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for perversity that I've seen before include "Wilfully contrary nature" , "Obstinacy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
