Villain put away minister (6)
I believe the answer is:
curate
'minister' is the definition.
(I know that minister can be written as curate)
'villain put away' is the wordplay.
'villain' becomes 'cur' (cur can mean a despicable person).
'put away' becomes 'ate' (put away can mean to eat).
'cur'+'ate'='CURATE'
(Other definitions for curate that I've seen before include "Minister of religion" , "Church of England clergyman" , "Parish priest's assistant" , "assistant rector" , "Organize a museum or exhibition" .)
