Representative Austrian fellow (5)

I believe the answer is:

agent

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

'representative' is the definition.
(agent is a kind of representative)

'austrian fellow' is the wordplay.
'austrian' becomes 'a' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'fellow' becomes 'gent' (synonyms).
'a'+'gent'='AGENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "Traveller" , "Salesman" , "Spy - broker" , "envoy" , "Operative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
