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

'put together' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'material with a famous irish man of the cloth?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'material' could be 'fabric' (synonyms) and 'fabric' is found within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'man' could be 'ted' (Ted is a man's name) and 'ted' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
