Rite involving water or fire? (7)
I believe the answer is:
baptism
'rite' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for baptism that I've seen before include "Religious ceremony" , "Baby's wetting of the head" , "Religious rite involving water" , "Christian sacrament requiring pouring of water" , "Christian sacrament that symbolises admission to the church" .)
