Tutor skipping one month to see part of church (8)
I believe the answer is:
transept
'part of church' is the definition.
(I know that transept is part of church)
'tutor skipping one month' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found within the answer.
'month' could be 'sept' (Sept is an example) and 'sept' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to see' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transept that I've seen before include "It crosses the nave in church" , "Part of a church at right angles to the nave" , "Side part of a church" , "Patterns in part of church at right angle to nave" , "Crossing part of a church" .)
