Religious figure with work after major error? (10)
I believe the answer is:
archbishop
'religious figure' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'work after major error?' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (short for opus).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'major' becomes 'arch' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'error?' becomes 'bish' (term for a blunder or mistake).
'arch'+'bish'='archbish'
'op' after 'archbish' is 'ARCHBISHOP'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archbishop that I've seen before include "man of the church" , "ecclesiastical dignitary?" , "Senior prelate" , "High-ranking churchman" , "Laud" .)
