Shoddy, having brickie’s aid (3)
I believe the answer is:
hod
'brickie's aid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'shoddy having' is the wordplay.
'having' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HOD' can be found hidden inside 'shoddy'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hod that I've seen before include "Trough on pole for carrying bricks" , "Open trough for carrying bricks" , "Brick carrier of shoddy type" , "Coal-scuttle" , "Trough on pole used by bricklayer to carry things" .)
