Shape made by tipsy cleric (6)
I believe the answer is:
circle
'shape' is the definition.
(circle is a kind of shape)
'tipsy cleric' is the wordplay.
'tipsy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cleric' anagrammed gives 'CIRCLE'.
'made by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for circle that I've seen before include "Group with shared profession or acquaintances" , "Number of people bound together by similar interests - sound round" , "Ring-shaped figure" , "Theatre tier; go round" , "Orbit" .)
