Laugh at Dutch carrier (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hod

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

'laugh at dutch' is the wordplay.
'laugh' becomes 'ho' (representation of a laughing sound).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dutch' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for Dutch).
'ho'+'d'='HOD'

(Other definitions for hod that I've seen before include "Trough on pole for carrying bricks" , "A bricklayer's carrying pole" , "Brick carrier of shoddy type" , "Carrier for a bricklayer" , "Carrier for bricks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
