Board member or lowly worker? (4)
I believe the answer is:
pawn
'worker?' is the definition.
(pawn is a kind of worker)
'board member or lowly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'member' could be 'paw' (paw is a kind of member) and 'paw' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pawn that I've seen before include "The foot-soldier in chess" , "Deposit as security for a loan" , "Minor chess piece" , "Person used to gain an end" , "Lodge (item) for money" .)
