I'm sorry - I like to be exact on these things and I still haven't expressed it correctly. Third attempt! In the clue 2 refers to 2d where the answer is 'sugar" and 5 refers to the 5th letter of the alphabet = "E" Therefore Not = Un 2 = sugar = darling 5 = E Therefore But 5 for a = swap an "E for an "A" Therefore darling becomes "derling" un + derling = underling (minion)

Thanks Mamyalynne and Sorry Oldred I didn't explain very well first time.
In the clue 2 refers to 2d where the answer is "sugar". 5 refers to "E" the fifth letter of the alphabet.
Not = Un
2 = sugar = darling
5 = e
but = swap "E" for another letter, in this case the "A" of darling
therefore
un + derling = underling (minion)
