Drink with old women from The Field (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meadow

'the field' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drink with old women' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'mead' (mead is a kind of drink**).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'women' becomes 'w'.
'mead'+'o'+'w'='MEADOW'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for meadow that I've seen before include "Paddock" , "Area used for hay" , "area of grassland" , "Tract of cultivated grassland" , "Grassy field" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
