Ross

I believe the answer is:

yes-man

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

'an agreeable chap' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'agreeable chap' is the wordplay.
'agreeable' becomes 'yes' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'yes'+'man'='YES-MAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yes-man that I've seen before include "Flunky" , "He never dissents" , "Sycophant" .)
