'a bagman?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'bounder to stop working' is the wordplay.
'bounder' becomes 'cad' (synonyms).
'to stop working' becomes 'die' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cad'+'die'='CADDIE'

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caddie that I've seen before include "Golfer's aide" , "He's on course to help" , "assist on course?" , "Wages advice note" , "A golfer's assistant (6)" .)
