What a monk may have's in fashion? Certainly (7)
I believe the answer is:
tonsure
'fashion? certainly' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tonsure that I've seen before include "bare patch" , "Monk's bald spot" , "Monastic haircut" , "Monastic hairstyle" , "Bald bit" .)
