I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stable employee' is the definition.
'liveryman' can be an answer for 'employee' (liveryman is a kind of employee). I am not sure about the 'stable' bit.

'stable employee' is the wordplay.

'employee' becomes 'man'.
'livery'+'man'='LIVERYMAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liveryman that I've seen before include "Uniformed servant" , "Member of guild" , "One looking after hacks" , "Member of a City Company" .)
