A person connected with something — with God? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wallah

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

'a person connected with something' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'with god?' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'god?' becomes 'Allah' (Arabic name for God).
'w'+'allah'='WALLAH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wallah that I've seen before include "top specialist" , "Person in charge of (or specialised in) something (from Hindi)" , "man in particular role" , "Indian worker" .)
