Worship head of banking? Not so much (5)
I believe the answer is:
bless
'worship' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'head of banking? not so much' is the wordplay.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
'not so much' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in another clue).
The first letter of 'banking' is 'b'.
'b'+'less'='BLESS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bless that I've seen before include "Wish happiness" , "Order of service" , "Sanctify" , "Anoint" , "Give honour to" .)
