terpsichore

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

'source of inspiration' is the definition.
'Terpsichore' can be an answer for 'inspiration' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'source of' bit.

'moving priest before tedious task' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'tedious task' becomes 'chore' (a chore is a boring job).
'priest' is an anagram of 'terpsi'.
'terpsi'+'chore'='TERPSICHORE'

Can you help me to learn more?
