Servant who is payable on demand? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bearer
'servant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is payable on demand?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' could be 'be' and 'be' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ar' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bearer that I've seen before include "One who puts up with" , "He presents bill" , "One who carries, maybe a coffin" , "He carries something, stretcher or news" , "native servant" .)
