Caught that woman swallowing Oriental fare (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheer
'fare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'caught that woman swallowing oriental' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'that woman' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before**).
'swallowing' indicates putting letters inside.
'oriental' becomes 'e'.
'her' going around 'e' is 'heer'.
'c'+'heer'='CHEER'
(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "Merriment" , "Shout encouragingly" , "party refreshment?" , "Applaud; mood" , "Hearten; shout" .)
