Adult female (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woman

'adult female' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror, The Sun, the Newsday and The Telegraph.
