Answer

Explanation
The answer to the Abbot's deputy meeting Athos regularly before (5,2) is PRIOR TO.
"Abbot's deputy" refers to a prior, who is second in command to an abbot in a monastery. "Meeting Athos regularly" indicates that we should take every other letter of the word "Athos," resulting in "Ato," which when combined with "prior" gives us "priorto." The phrase "before" in the clue defines "priorto" as a single word, meaning earlier in time or position. Thus, the answer "PRIORTO" cleverly fits the crossword clue's requirements by combining both direct and cryptic elements of the clue.
