Clergymen who could have been sad once? (7)
I believe the answer is:
deacons
'clergymen' is the definition.
(deacon is a kind of clergyman)
'could have been sad once?' is the wordplay.
'sad once' can be anagrammed to 'DEACONS'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'who' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for deacons that I've seen is " They rank just below priests".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
