Article framed by extremely emotional woman (5)
I believe the answer is:
ethel
'woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article framed by extremely emotional' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'framed by' is an insertion indicator.
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters.
'emotional' with its middle removed is 'el'.
'the' going inside 'el' is 'ETHEL'.
(Other definitions for ethel that I've seen before include "Lethe (anag) -- Barrymore or Merman" , "- Merman, US musical comedy star" , "Dame - Smyth, Eng. composer, suffragette" , "Trying not to be seen" , "girl" .)
