Superior of a religious community (6)

I believe the answer is:

abbess

(Other definitions for abbess that I've seen before include "Superior of group of nuns" , "She heads a religious community" , "Senior ecclesiastic" , "Head of group of nuns" , "superior lady" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
