Born in the jungle, ultimately (3)
I believe the answer is:
nee
'born' is the definition.
('nee' is 'born' in French)
'in the jungle ultimately' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The final letters of 'in the jungle' are 'NEE'.
(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "Indicates the family name of a married woman" , "Born as (former name)" , "named as 14 [FIANCEE] ?" , "Born (indicating a woman's maiden name)" , "Surnamed at birth" .)
