Worker has a lot of bananas (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand

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

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

'worker has a lot' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'han' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'a lot' becomes 'd'.
'han'+'d'='HAND'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Crew member" , "Worker; pointer" , "audience response?" , "writing" , "Clock-pointer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
