After short time woman gives the real facts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

truth

'the real facts' is the definition.

'after short time woman' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'short time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'woman' becomes 'ruth' (**).
't' next to 'ruth' is 'TRUTH'.

'gives' is the link.

(Other definitions for truth that I've seen before include "real story" , "Veracity, faithfulness" , "Gospel" , "known facts" , "Candour" .)
