Crossword Genius

Worker of a type only found abroad (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peon

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

'worker' is the definition.
(peon is a kind of worker)

'a type only found abroad' is the wordplay.
'PEON' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peon that I've seen before include "A Mexican peasant or labourer" , "Spanish-American menial worker" , "Spanish-American farm worker" , "Spanish-American farm labourer" , "Day-labourer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
