Accepted in Jodhpur, serving ship’s officer (6)
I believe the answer is:
purser
'ship's officer' is the definition.
(purser is a kind of ship's officer)
'accepted in jodhpur serving' is the wordplay.
'PURSER' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for purser that I've seen before include "office on ship" , "One contracting to be" , "Ship's officer looking after the passengers" , "Ship's officer in charge of accounts" , "Ship's accountant" .)
