Vicar in wrong circle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleric

'vicar' is the definition.

'wrong circle' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'circle' is an anagram of 'CLERIC'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for cleric that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy" , "One ordained" , "One who takes orders" , "Clergyman" , "Religious man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
