Catch woman on underground (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nether

'underground' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'catch woman on' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'net' (netting is a kind of catching).
'woman' becomes 'her' (**).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'net'+'her'='NETHER'

(Other definitions for nether that I've seen before include "Subordinate" , "These garments are for the bottom half" , "North European country" , "Located below" , "inferior" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
