Doctor left large xylophone to woman (5)
I believe the answer is:
maria
'woman' is the definition.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maria that I've seen before include "musical" , "(Of plant) become limp" , "Lunar plains; girl's name" , "Heroine of West Side Story" , "Plains on the moon; girl's name" .)
