One of those people who knead people (7)
I believe the answer is:
masseur
'one of those people who knead people' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'one of those people' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'people' could be 'mss' (Ms. is an example) and 'mss' is found in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'eur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for masseur that I've seen before include "rubber needed" , "Manipulative type?" , "Reliever of muscle pain or tension" , "Maybe physio" , "Massage provider" .)
