Preacher, part wizard possibly? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gospeller

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

'preacher' is the definition.
(I know that gospeller is a type of preacher)

'part wizard possibly?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'ell' (ell is a kind of part) and 'ell' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gospeller that I've seen before include "evangelical preacher" , "Bible reader" , "Evangelist" , "zealous preacher" , "religious type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
