Name of worker on Gibraltar originally missing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handle

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

'name' is the definition.
(a handle is a name)

'worker on gibraltar originally missing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'worker' could be 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker) and 'hand' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handle that I've seen before include "Grip, hold" , "Manage or deal with - in manual way?" , "Deal with; name (colloq.)" , "Part by which something is held" , "Touch - deal with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
