Concerning a woman and possibly Christopher (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reeve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'possibly christopher' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'concerning a woman' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're'.
'a woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example).
're'+'eve'='REEVE'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "Bird - female of the ruff" , "Old-style magistrate" , "Pass cable through narrow opening" , "magistrate of long ago" , "Old magistrate or official" .)
