One working in bed offers noth­ing for woman to embrace (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoer

'one working in bed' is the definition.
(eg someone using a hoe in a flower bed)

'nothing for woman to embrace' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'woman' could be 'her' (her refers to a woman) and 'her' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'offers' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hoer that I've seen before include "I weed" , "I tidy the garden" , "Gardener" , "Weeder" , "User of a gardening tool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
