Using current cleric, tale is circulated (10)
I believe the answer is:
electrical
'using current' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'cleric tale is circulated' is the wordplay.
'is circulated' is an anagram indicator.
'cleric'+'tale'='clerictale'
'clerictale' with letters rearranged gives 'ELECTRICAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electrical that I've seen before include "Concerning current" , "Concerned with current" , "Like some storms" , "Like goods with plugs" .)
