She needs a hand to get to work (10)
I believe the answer is:
manicurist
'work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'she needs a hand' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to get to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for manicurist that I've seen is " pro with file?".)
