Employed; second hand (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

used

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'employed' is the first definition.
('use' can be a synonym of 'employ')

'second hand' is the second definition.
(second hand can mean previously owned or used)

(Other definitions for used that I've seen before include "Brought into service" , "Enjoyed" , "Not fresh" , "taken advantage of!" , "Accustomed, having been put into service" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
