Drape around chaplain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padre

'chaplain' is the definition.
(padre is a kind of chaplain)

'drape around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'drape' with letters rearranged gives 'PADRE'.

(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Man of god - drape (anag)" , "Services' chaplain" , "Army serviceman?" , "Cleric" , "non-combatant officer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
