I believe the answer is:

see

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

This could be a double definition.

'perceive the bishop's' is the first definition.
'see' can be an answer for 'perceive' (seeing is a kind of perceiving). I'm unsure of the 'the bishop's' bit.

'area of authority' is the second definition.
'see' can be an answer for 'area' (see is a kind of area). I'm unsure of the 'of authority' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "Perceive a bishopric" , "Understand; watch" , "Bishop's area of control" , "Discern visually" , "Bishop's seat" .)
