He gives out bread to feed workers (9)
I believe the answer is:
paymaster
'he gives out bread' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'feed workers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'feed' could be 'mast' (mast is a kind of feed) and 'mast' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'payer' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paymaster that I've seen before include "funding source" , "Government official" , "Salary official" , "Official handing out money to troops or workers" , "One controlling through money" .)
