Vicar’s adequate stipend? (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

living wage

This could be a double definition.

'vicar's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'adequate stipend?' is the second definition.
(a wage sufficient to live on)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
