'one establishing order has the same taxi dropping sailor off' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one establishing order' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'order' could be 'om' (Order of Merit) and 'om' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
