A female (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woman

'a female' is the definition.
(I know that female can be written as woman)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for woman that I've seen before include "Lady" , "Adult female" , "With 1a [OLD], one's rather timid" , "See 16" , "person not going on stag-night" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
