One gives a teacher more fillers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donor

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

'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'a teacher more fillers' is the wordplay.
'a teacher' becomes 'don' (don is a kind of teacher).
'more fillers' becomes 'or' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'don'+'or'='DONOR'

'gives' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for donor that I've seen before include "A giver, often of blood" , "Philanthropist" , "Charitable giver" , "Giver, of blood say" , "Someone providing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
