Scoundrel getting pass for green assistant (6)
I believe the answer is:
caddie
'green assistant' is the definition.
'caddie' can be an answer for 'assistant' (caddie is a kind of assistant). I'm not certain of the 'green' bit.
'scoundrel getting pass' is the wordplay.
'scoundrel' becomes 'cad' (cad is a kind of scoundrel).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pass' becomes 'die' (as in passing away).
'cad'+'die'='CADDIE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caddie that I've seen before include "Golfer's attendant" , "Padraig Harrington's brother-in-law Ronan Flood is also his . . . . . ." , "Golf course assistant" , "A golfer's assistant-adviser" , "assist on course?" .)
