Trip abroad, oddly to see what Pope wears (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiara

'what pope wears' is the definition.

'trip abroad oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters.
'trip'+'abroad'='tripabroad'
The alternating letters of 'tripabroad' are 'TIARA'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for tiara that I've seen before include "Ornamental head band" , "Jewelled headwear" , "It might go to one's head" , "Jewelled hair-band" , "Jewelled head wear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
