During interval, women’s rude stare (4)

I believe the answer is:

gawp

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

'rude stare' is the definition.
'gawp' can be an answer for 'stare' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'rude' bit.

'during interval women's' is the wordplay.
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'interval' becomes 'gap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'gap' enclosing 'w' is 'GAWP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gawp that I've seen before include "Look stupid(ly)" , "Watch open-mouthed" , "Stare rudely" , "Stare stupidly" , "Stare open-mouthed" .)
