A job for the girl I have taken on (7)
I believe the answer is:
mission
'a job' is the definition.
(a mission is a job or task)
'girl i have taken on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'issi' and 'issi' is present in the answer.
'on' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mission that I've seen before include "1996 Tom Cruise spy film -- extremely dangerous assignment" , "Very dangerous assignment -- Tom Cruise film series" , "Assignment - calling" , "In religious campaign" , "Delegation" .)
