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

This might be a double definition.

'professional' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'offer?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hit man that I've seen before include "He's a professional killer" , "Liquidator" , "Hired gun" , "A modern hired assassin" , "In slang, a hired assassin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
