Good rounds on a vicar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parson

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

'a vicar' is the definition.
(both are members of the clergy)

'good rounds on' is the wordplay.
'good rounds' becomes 'pars' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pars'+'on'='PARSON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parson that I've seen before include "Churchman" , "Anglican clergyman" , "A rector or vicar" , "Minister of religion" , "Aprons (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
