Combined to get the girl (8)
I believe the answer is:
together
'combined' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to get the girl' is the wordplay.
'the girl' becomes 'her'.
'to'+'get'+'her'='TOGETHER'
(Other definitions for together that I've seen before include "United; in agreement" , "stable" , "In unison" , "In conjunction, combined" , "Well-controlled" .)
