Attempt to have part-timer (4)
I believe the answer is:
temp
'part-timer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'attempt to have' is the wordplay.
'to have' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TEMP' is hidden within 'attempt'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for temp that I've seen before include "Transitory office worker" , "relief" , "Non-permanent worker" , "Non-full time employee" , "N on-permanent worker" .)
