Archdeacon tried first outlet (4) ?e?t

Vent

explanation regarding archdeacon please

Sorry - should have explained!
When Rev'd John Smith gets collated as Archdeacon (yes, that's the technical term, funny as it sounds) he becomes known as the Venerable John Smith, or the Ven. John Smith for short.

So the answer is Ven + t (first letter of 'tried')

Many thanks for the explanation,for a 4 letter answer it had me quite puzzled.
