Religious babe? Novice grabs her (6)
I believe the answer is:
cherub
'religious babe?' is the definition.
'cherub' can be an answer for 'babe?' (cherub is a kind of babe). I am not sure about the 'religious' bit.
'novice grabs her' is the wordplay.
'novice' becomes 'cub' (cub is a kind of novice).
'grabs' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cub' enclosing 'her' is 'CHERUB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "Sweet little baby" , "innocent-looking child" , "little one with wings" , "Lovely child" , "goody-goody?" .)
