Attendant in home regularly going round with help (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handmaid

'attendant' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Female attendant' mean 'handmaid' so perhaps 'attendant' could also mean 'handmaid')

'home regularly going round with help' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'going round' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go around others).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'help' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
The alternate letters of 'home' are 'hm'.
'hm' placed around 'and' is 'handm'.
'handm'+'aid'='HANDMAID'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for handmaid that I've seen before include "servant - with 2d" , "Female servant" , "Female attendant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
