Two articles supporting bishop? Like crazy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bananas

'crazy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'two articles supporting bishop? like' is the wordplay.
'two articles' can mean two substitutions for 'articles'.
'articles' says to put letters next to each other.
'articles' becomes 'anan' (two examples of the part-of-speech: an+an).
'supporting' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'bishop?' becomes 'B' (abbreviation used in chess).
'like' becomes 'as'.
'anan' after 'b' is 'banan'.
'banan'+'as' is 'BANANAS'.

(Other definitions for bananas that I've seen before include "Fruit; mad" , "bats" , "Fruit - nuts" , "nutty" , "Crazed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
