Delicate female getting transport (5)
I believe the answer is:
frail
'delicate' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'female getting transport' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'getting transport' becomes 'rail' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'f'+'rail'='FRAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frail that I've seen before include "Weak, feeble" , "hobbling around?" , "rush" , "Weak and infirm" , "Basket made of rushes" .)
