Some clergyman seen — here? (5)
I believe the answer is:
manse
'some clergyman seen here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'some clergyman seen here?' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'MANSE' is hidden within 'clergyman seen here'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manse that I've seen before include "Minister's quarters" , "Scottish minister's residence" , "Pile of rector'" , "Religious home" , "Religious minister's house" .)
