“Servant fashioning a peg (4)”
Answer: PAGE
Anagram clue. Definition "Servant" (start) = PAGE, a young attendant. Wordplay: anagram ("fashioning") of the fodder "a peg" (A+P+E+G) rearranges to PAGE. The indicator "fashioning" is buried in the surface, which reads as a servant making a wooden peg — misdirecting toward carpentry rather than the rearrangement.
