Monsieur helps servants (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maids

'servants' is the definition.
(maid is a kind of servant)

'monsieur helps' is the wordplay.
'monsieur' becomes 'm' (French abbreviation - like Mr for Mister).
'helps' becomes 'aids' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'help').
'm'+'aids'='MAIDS'

(Other definitions for maids that I've seen before include "Female domestic servants" , "Female domestics" , "Getting women in service" , "Lasses" , "girls!" .)
