Follower, what lady showing a lot of leg may have? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minion

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

'follower' is the definition.
(minion is a kind of follower)

'what lady showing a lot of leg may have?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'lady' could be 'min' and 'min' is found in the answer.
'showing' could be 'on' (as in a film showing or on at a cinema) and 'on' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for minion that I've seen before include "Servile favourite" , "Servile assistant" , "Lackey or subordinate assistant" , "Fawning servant" , "flunkey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
