Each woman going to extremes of roguery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

every

'each' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'woman going to extremes of roguery' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example).
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'extremes of' suggests removing the centre.
'roguery' with its middle removed is 'ry'.
'eve'+'ry'='EVERY'

(Other definitions for every that I've seen before include "Each of a number" , "All, taken separately" , "'God bless us - - one !'" , "Each (one of a set)" , "As much as possible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
