Crossword Genius

List particular personnel assigned to dock? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detail

I believe this clue is a quadruple definition!!

'list' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'particular' is the second definition.
('detail' can be a synonym of 'particular')

'personnel assigned' is the third definition.
(group of soldiers assigned to a task)

'to' acts as a link.

'dock?' is the fourth definition.
(dock can mean to remove a tail, as in de-tail)

(Other definitions for detail that I've seen before include "Small individual feature" , "party" , "document?" , "Tailed into particulars" , "A point or aspect of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
