Roughly trim back of ornate tile for bishop (5)
I believe the answer is:
mitre
'tile for bishop' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'roughly trim back of ornate' is the wordplay.
'roughly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'back of' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'ornate' is 'e'.
'trim' is an anagram of 'mitr'.
'mitr'+'e'='MITRE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mitre that I've seen before include "Remit (anag.)" , "Timer (anag.)" , "Bishop's tall headdress" , "Kind of joint" , "Clerical coverage" .)
