Veiled nun cycles around bishop's office (6)
I believe the answer is:
unseen
'veiled' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'nun cycles around bishop's office' is the wordplay.
'cycles' is an anagram indicator.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'bishop's office' becomes 'see' (see can mean a bishop's jurisdiction).
'nun' is an anagram of 'unn'.
'unn' placed around 'see' is 'UNSEEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unseen that I've seen before include "Invisable" , "Invisible or not observed" , "Concealed" , "Unobserved" , "Unnoticed" .)
