American specified female attendant (5)
I believe the answer is:
usher
'attendant' is the definition.
(I know that usher is a type of escort)
'american specified female' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'specified female' becomes 'her' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'specified' bit.).
'us'+'her'='USHER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for usher that I've seen before include "Official doorkeeper or guide" , "Person whose job is to conduct others" , "pilot" , "Doorkeeper in court of law" , "Show to seat" .)
