___-de-camp (4)

I believe the answer is:

aide

(Other definitions for aide that I've seen before include "Officer who acts as military assistant" , "Right-hand man/woman" , "someone in assistance" , "auxiliary" , "One to assist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times and the Universal.
