Temporary setback struck church (5)
I believe the answer is:
hitch
'temporary setback' is the definition.
'hitch' can be an answer for 'setback' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'temporary' bit.
'struck church' is the wordplay.
'struck' becomes 'hit'.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'hit'+'ch'='HITCH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hitch that I've seen before include "Hindrance" , "Snag, drawback" , "Temporary difficulty" , "interruption" , "Unforeseen obstacle" .)
