Crossword Genius

Correct, ordinarily, about cleric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rector

'cleric' is the definition.
(type of clergyman)

'correct ordinarily about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'RECTOR' can be found hidden inside 'correct ordinarily'.

(Other definitions for rector that I've seen before include "Vicar" , "Preacher Man" , "Cleric" , "Church official" , "Minister of religion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
