To do with pope getting back in a flap apparently (5)
I believe the answer is:
papal
'to do with pope' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'back in a flap apparently' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'lapap' is hidden in the letters of 'flap apparently'.
'lapap' written backwards gives 'PAPAL'.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for papal that I've seen before include "Of the highest Vatican authority" , "Like some bulls" , "Relating to the Pontiff" , "Of the RC leader" , "Relating to the Pope" .)
