She does show people their place (9)
I believe the answer is:
usherette
'she' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'show people their place' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'show' could be 'usher' (synonyms) and 'usher' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'does' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for usherette that I've seen before include "Female guide" , "Female theatre attendant" , "Person showing people to their seats" , "Girl guide" , "Lady who shows you to your seat in cinema or theatre" .)
