At home with a Cork member of the clergy or out? (10)

I believe the answer is:

inaccurate

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

'out?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'at home with a cork member of the clergy' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a cork' becomes 'ac' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'member of the clergy' becomes 'curate' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'ac'+'curate'='INACCURATE'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inaccurate that I've seen before include "not hitting all the right notes?" , "wrong" , "Unreliable" .)
