Worker given cards (4)
I believe the answer is:
hand
This clue is a double definition.
'worker' is the first definition.
(hand is a kind of worker)
'given cards' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Round of applause" , "Player's cards" , "writing" , "Script" , "Crew member" .)
