Crossword Genius

Servants possibly coming in during meals (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

menials

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

'servants' is the definition.
(menial is a kind of servant)

'coming in during meals' is the wordplay.
'coming in' becomes 'ni' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ni' put into 'meals' is 'MENIALS'.

'possibly' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
