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

'spaniard who worked in bars' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'staff fix round' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'rod' (both can mean a stick or cane).
'fix' becomes 'rig' (rig can mean to fix or manipulate).
'round' becomes 'o' (o is a circular letter).
'rod'+'rig'+'o'='RODRIGO'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rodrigo that I've seen before include "Resident caretaker (in France)" , "Joaqoein -, Concierto de Aranjuez composer" , "Spanish scorer" , "Spanish composer (Concierto de Aranjuez)" .)
