Clergyman has some idea now (4)

I believe the answer is:

dean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clergyman' is the definition.
(I know that dean is a type of cardinal)

'some idea now' is the wordplay.
'DEAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dean that I've seen before include "Cathedral cleric" , "College officer" , "FILMSTAR" , "Senior academic administrator" , "Head of e.g. faculty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
