Padre condemned hanging (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drape

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

'padre condemned' is the wordplay.
'condemned' indicates an anagram.
'padre' anagrammed gives 'DRAPE'.

(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Hang (cloth) loosely" , "Hanging cloth used as a blind" , "Hang (cloth) in folds (on something)" , "Wrap loosely (with cloth)" , "Loose fabric cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
