Left a woman at the air terminal bar (5)

I believe the answer is:

lever

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bar' is the definition.
(lever is a kind of bar)

'left a woman at the air terminal' is the wordplay.
'left' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'a woman' becomes 'evel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'terminal' suggests the final letters (terminal refers to the end).
The last letter of 'air' is 'r'.
'evel' backwards is 'leve'.
'leve'+'r'='LEVER'

(Other definitions for lever that I've seen before include "Rigid bar pivoted about a fulcrum" , "Jemmy" , "Crowbar" , "Kind of bar for prising or lifting" , "Lifting bar pivoted on a fulcrum" .)
