Continental girl, not a singularly loud one! (4)
I believe the answer is:
fifi
'continental' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'girl not a singularly loud one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'fi' (nickname for Fiona) and 'fi' is found within the answer.
'loud' could be 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music) and 'f' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
