Bone in some French church getting label (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

describe

'label' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bone in some french church' is the wordplay.
'bone' becomes 'rib' (rib is a kind of bone**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'some french' becomes 'des'.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'des'+'ce'='desce'
'rib' going inside 'desce' is 'DESCRIBE'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for describe that I've seen before include "Tell what something is like" , "Depict" , "Outline" , "Report in detail" , "Represent in words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
