Service provider for other service providers? (8)
I believe the answer is:
chaplain
'service provider' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaplain that I've seen before include "Clergyman attached to an institution, such as the army" , "Member of clergy ministering to an organisation" , "Christian clergyman attached to an institution, military body etc" , "Member of the clergy, in 24 ac say" , "man of the cloth" .)
