Crossword Genius

Cleverly hide man and servant (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handmaiden

'servant' is the definition.
('handmaiden' can be a synonym of 'servant')

'cleverly hide man and' is the wordplay.
'cleverly' indicates an anagram.
'hide'+'man'+'and'='hidemanand'
'hidemanand' with letters rearranged gives 'HANDMAIDEN'.

(Another definition for handmaiden that I've seen is " Female servant".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
