Attributes of the embassy staff? (8)
I believe the answer is:
attaches
'attributes of the embassy staff?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attaches that I've seen before include "ties" , "Fastens or joins" .)
