Created servant, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

made

'created' is the definition.
(making is a kind of creating)

'servant say' is the wordplay.
'servant' becomes 'maid' (maid is a kind of servant).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'maid' is a homophone of 'MADE'.

(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "Performed" , "Fabricated" , "Built" , "One renovating (painting)" , "Produced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
