Woman employee in Yokohama house (4)
I believe the answer is:
amah
'woman employee' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in yokohama house' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'AMAH' is hidden within 'yokohama house'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amah that I've seen before include "nurse from abroad" , "Chinese nursemaid" , "Children's nurse" , "Asian nursemaid" , "(Far eastern) nursemaid" .)
