Serving in a launderette (5)
I believe the answer is:
under
'serving' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.
'in a launderette' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'UNDER' can be found hidden inside 'launderette'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for under that I've seen before include "Dylan Thomas radio play ''.... Milk Wood''" , "One prepared to take over from leading actor" , "See 7" , "See 16 Down" , "Less than" .)
