Religious leader with time to talk and talk (6)

I believe the answer is:

rabbit

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

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

'religious leader with time' is the wordplay.
'religious leader' becomes 'rabbi' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'rabbi'+'t'='RABBIT'

'to talk and' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rabbit that I've seen before include "Waffle" , "Burrowing animal, lives in warren" , "one found in the tail" , "Chatter; poor games-player" , "Bit bar (anag.)" .)
