Follow girl after men lost lead (5)
I believe the answer is:
ensue
'follow' is the definition.
(ensue can mean to follow or happen as a result)
'girl after men lost lead' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'sue' (girl's name) and 'sue' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'en' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Follow afterwards" , "Come along afterwards" , "Occur afterwards" , "Arise" , "Occur as a result (of)" .)
