Crossword Genius

Tout in time corrupted priest (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tipster

'tout' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'time corrupted priest' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'corrupted' is an anagram indicator.
'priest' is an anagram of 'ipster'.
't'+'ipster'='TIPSTER'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tipster that I've seen before include "Race predictor" , "I have a horse" , "Seller of inside information" , "One predicting winners" , "he recommends risky investments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
