Father Rory embodies sin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

error

'sin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'father rory embodies' is the wordplay.
'embodies' indicates a hidden word.
'ERROR' is hidden in the letters of 'father rory'.

(Other definitions for error that I've seen before include "Way of operating" , "Blunder, slip" , "Blunder or mistake" , "Howler" , "Faulty judgement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
