The servants’ vehicle? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

van

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

'vehicle?' is the definition.
(van is a kind of vehicle)

'the servants'' is the wordplay.
'VAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for van that I've seen before include "Commercial road vehicle" , "Forefront, vehicle" , "Business vehicles or army front" , "Commercial vehicle at head of army" , "Army front or business vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
