The kind of tasks for one in a servile position (6)
I believe the answer is:
menial
'a servile position' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'the kind of tasks for one' is the wordplay.
'the kind of tasks' becomes 'nial' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'one' becomes 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me').
'nial' put after 'me' is 'MENIAL'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for menial that I've seen before include "Humble - servant" , "A drudge" , "Servile of lowly" , "Domestic servant" , "Servile and humiliating" .)
