One in drink and one bringing the drinks? (6)
I believe the answer is:
waiter
'one bringing the drinks?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'one in drink' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'drink' could be 'water' (water is an example) and 'water' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waiter that I've seen before include "Herr Ober (Ger.)" , "Restaurant employee" , "One who serves at table" , "Estragon or Vladimir, for example" , "Attendant" .)
