A female with wrath that is burning (5)
I believe the answer is:
afire
'is burning' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a female with wrath' is the wordplay.
'a female' becomes 'af' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'wrath' becomes 'ire' ('ire' can be a synonym of 'wrath').
'af'+'ire'='AFIRE'
'that' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for afire that I've seen before include "Burning" , "Ablaze" , "lit up" , "Alight" , "in flames" .)
