yeoman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'farmer's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yeoman that I've seen before include "One may (anag.)" , "Minor official" , "Beefeater was this Tower warden's nickname" , "Land-owning farmer - beefeater" , "Former royal servant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
