Brief minute with the German bodyguard (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minder

'bodyguard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'brief minute with the german' is the wordplay.
'brief minute' becomes 'min' (abbreviation for minute).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German**).
'min'+'der'='MINDER'

(Other definitions for minder that I've seen before include "One who objects" , "baby sitter?" , "Bodyguard (colloq.)" , "One looking after" , "One who looks after (someone or something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
