Attendant working with car (6)
I believe the answer is:
minion
'attendant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'working with car' is the wordplay.
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'car' becomes 'mini' (Mini Cooper).
'on' after 'mini' is 'MINION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minion that I've seen before include "Fawning servant" , "Servile follower" , "Dependant, underling" , "Servile underling" , "Servile dependant" .)
