Made to copy Joan of Arc, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
maid
'say' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maid that I've seen before include "Female servant - young girl" , "daughter?" , "Serving girl" , "Young woman - servant" , "Damsel" .)
