A scheming woman coming with devious ruses (11)

I believe the answer is:

adventuress

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

'a scheming woman' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'coming with devious ruses' is the wordplay.
'coming' becomes 'advent' (advent is the arrival or coming of something).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'devious' is an anagram indicator.
'ruses' anagrammed gives 'uress'.
'advent'+'uress'='ADVENTURESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adventuress that I've seen before include "Daring woman" , "She's daring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
