Tailor tried shop inspiring love for the cloth (10)
I believe the answer is:
priesthood
'the cloth' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'tailor tried shop inspiring love' is the wordplay.
'tailor' indicates anagramming the letters (letters tailored or designed).
'inspiring' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'tried'+'shop'='triedshop'
'triedshop' is an anagram of 'priesthod'.
'priesthod' enclosing 'o' is 'PRIESTHOOD'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for priesthood that I've seen before include "Minister's office" , "future for seminarian" , "Ordained order" , "cleric's office" , "office in church" .)
