Spiritual learner wanting to pray (5)
I believe the answer is:
inner
'spiritual' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inner that I've seen before include "Good shot at archery" , "Opposite of 13" , "Farther in" , "It's next to the bull on the board" , "This part of city is at the old centre" .)
