Answer

CLERK

A clerk is a person employed in an office, shop, or other establishment to keep records, handle correspondence, or assist customers. The word comes from the Latin 'clericus' meaning clergyman, as in medieval times, clergy members were often the only literate people who could perform administrative tasks. Today the term is used broadly for various administrative and retail positions.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in K are relatively common in English but easy to overlook. If you are stuck, try testing words that end with K, CK, or NK patterns since these appear frequently in five letter words.
