Rascal found in church we hear (5)
I believe the answer is:
knave
'rascal' is the definition.
(I know that rascal can be written as knave)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knave that I've seen before include "Jack - rotter" , "Yet he may be a diamond" , "Jack - rogue" , "Rat" , "Villain - jack" .)
