This could be a double definition.

'arrest english' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.

'diplomat' is the second definition.
(I know that attache is a type of diplomat)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attache that I've seen before include "Junior ambassador" , "Specialised envoy" , "ambassador's assistant" , "Ambassador's aide" , "That ace (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
