Crossword Genius

Worker with several striking (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handsome

'striking' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'worker with several' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'several' becomes 'some' (similar in meaning).
'hand'+'some'='HANDSOME'

(Other definitions for handsome that I've seen before include "beautiful" , "Striking" , "large" , "Fit" , "Fine-looking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
