True article about member of the clergy (8)
I believe the answer is:
accurate
'true' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'article about member of the clergy' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for circa).
'member of the clergy' becomes 'curate' (assistant to a priest).
'a'+'c'+'curate'='ACCURATE'
(Other definitions for accurate that I've seen before include "Correct, right" , "faithful" , "not deviating from the truth?" , "Spot on" , "Factual" .)
