Woman has wise man to face (6)
I believe the answer is:
visage
'face' is the definition.
(visage is a kind of face)
'woman has wise man' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Vi' (short for Violet).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'wise man' becomes 'sage' (sage is a kind of wise man).
'vi'+'sage'='VISAGE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for visage that I've seen before include "A person's face, countenance" , "Face, aspect" , "Mug" , "Clock" .)
