Applause; worker (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">applause</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(hand is a kind of applause)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">worker</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(hand is a kind of worker)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Clock or watch pointer" , "that may be engaged in a shake" , "Unit of measurement of a horse's height" , "employee" , "For example, a straight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
