After separation, female accepted street food (9)
I believe the answer is:
breakfast
'food' is the definition.
(breakfast food is a kind of food)
'after separation female accepted street' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'separation' becomes 'break' (break is a kind of separation).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'accepted' becomes 'a' (financial abbreviation).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'break' next to 'f' is 'breakf'.
'breakf'+'a'+'st'='BREAKFAST'
(Other definitions for breakfast that I've seen before include "beginning to day" , "food" , "croissants?" , "First meal of the day" , "See 5" .)
